Barcelona goalkeeper Iñaki Peña appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow’s match against Borussia Dortmund, in the sixth round of the Champions League.

The goalkeeper said: “When you are young and start playing football, your dream is to play this kind of match, in front of 80,000 spectators, in front of a team that has scored 27 goals in eight matches. We will give 100% of our energy. We have a great mentality. On Sunday we were talking Indeed, what we have to do to win tomorrow.”

He added: “How did Flick help you improve? Mentally, I am the same, with minor changes, yes, right At the level of continuity of matches, everything is increasing, and this leads you to more confidence. The first results that I obtained when I entered were positive and this helps on a collective and personal level with the coach being super grateful for the confidence.”

He added: “I haven’t changed much either, the results of the year The past... The Super Cup final was painful, and in the cup we lost, at the group level, the season was difficult when I had to play, it was in the decisive stage... Last year I don't even remember. On a personal level, I'm in great shape now “The ability to play matches continuously is very important for a goalkeeper.”

He stressed: “All teams go through periods of ups and downs, and no team has won in the history of football.” Every game in one season. Our November was amazing. We know what we have done and this gives us the strength to know what we need to do in the future. When you prove something, you know you can do it. We will have to give 100% like we did at the Bernabeu or against Bayern.”

He continued: “The coach told us that we have to return to the thing that made us a team that cannot be achieved.” Turn it off, it's obvious. At a certain level, we are clear about what we should do and what we should not do. We must give 100%, be inspiring in defense and attack, control the match and be decisive in areas of the field.”

And Noah: “Is tomorrow’s match big for you? Not on a personal level. I don't go out on the field to show what I deserve on a personal level. You give personal work to your team, and that's what I do in every game, whether tomorrow or at home against Las Palmas. Being at a club like Barcelona requires you to be at 100% every 2-3 days. Yes, it is a special match, in the Champions League, and if we win it, it will clearly bring us closer to our goal.”

He added: “In the end, the experience gives you that improvement emotionally. In every game you play you learn. On the emotional level, what you are doing is being stable. Defeat does not make you change what you have to do, nor does victory lift you up. You are as good in victory as you are in defeat. Make yourself worthy of it, and show what you are worth.”

He continued: “In Flick’s first training sessions, he had a clear idea that Barcelona had always had the idea of ​​high defence. We were shocked by the exaggerated idea he had. We had to absorb the changes defensively. But it's not just about the defense and the goalkeeper, the attackers have to press, the midfielders have to press. You have to pay up, in such a risky methodology it should be 100%. Obviously, the farther the ball is from your goal, the better. It is something you become convinced of little by little.”

He concluded: “It is true that I have been training with Mark Ter Stegen for many years and each one has his own style. You learn everything you can and get better from all your colleagues. With Stegen, who came with him from the reserve team, if you do a good job, people will praise you.”
