Firmin Lopez, a Barcelona player, confirmed the difficulty of the confrontation that brought his team against Slavia Prague, pointing out that the victory was deserved after a great team effort, following the victory in the Champions League.

Firmin said: "We knew it was a tough match due to the cold and the condition of the pitch, and the opponent presses well at home. Things got complicated for us, but we managed to come back and finished the match very well."

He added: "Playing in such conditions is not easy, you feel pain in your feet and hands, but that's no excuse, we gave our best."

He continued: "I try to take advantage of the opportunities the coach gives me and help the team as much as possible. The whole team played a great match, and we deserved this victory."

He went on: "We knew the importance of the goal difference, and we wanted to keep a clean sheet. The most important thing is to achieve victory, and we won by two goals, and now we focus on the next match."

Regarding his teammate Pedri's condition, Firmin Lopez explained: "I haven't spoken to him yet, but he felt discomfort in the hamstring. It will be difficult if he is injured, and I hope there isn't an injury, and if there is, I hope it's for a short period because we need him."

He concluded his statements by saying: "I work here in my club to achieve my dream of being in the World Cup, and I hope I can reach that."
