The Sevilla coach also spoke about the challenges his team will face and how difficult it will be to stop Barcelona.
‘We know very well the teams we are facing, yesterday in the cup they finished the game in 20 minutes.’ Pimenta said of Barcelona’s 5-0 Copa del Rey quarter-final win at Valencia on Thursday, taking a 3-0 lead after 23 minutes.
