Betting Tips: UEFA Champions League / APOEL Nicosia VS FC Barcelona -- Match Time：11/26/2014 03:45 Wednesday APOEL Nicosia VS FC Barcelona goaloo/4.shtml ------------------------------------------------------ APOEL only got 1 point from first 4 matches in group F, but it should be noted that all three defeats were very narrow (all 0:1). Team from Cyprus performed really well at home against PSG, they were a better team despite losing and had many chances to score. Now, they are looking forward for the match with Barcelona. “This is the best game of the year. We are all proud and happy that we will be facing such a team with great players here in Cyprus. Both players and fans need to enjoy this occasion. We know that we have to work hard, to run a lot and to be very organised. But this is a game where three points are up for taking and, with all due respect to our opponents, we want to make a surprise and be the ones to take them,” said experienced 34-year-old striker Gustavo Manduca. Barcelona have already qualified for the next round, but if they want to finish on 1st spot then victory in Cyprus is probably obligatory. There were some questions marks over Catalan club in the recent weeks, however Saturday’s great 5:1 victory over Sevilla should boost their morale. “All teams are going through difficult periods. It’s normal,” said coach Luis Enrique. He also spoke about upcoming game against APOEL: “I expect very similar match to the one which we played against them at Camp Nou. We should be in ball possession, I hope we will again manage to keep a clean sheet. Both Xavi and Ivan Rakitic are great players and have big tactical knowledge. We need points in order to finish the group on top. Most important thing is qualification, but we want to finish our group on 1st place,” said coach Luis Enrique. Players also spoke about upcoming game: “I know APOEL cause I played against them 5 or 6 years ago with Schalke. They are performing really well in Cyprus, their good results aren’t accidental. I also have a friend in this league. We must perform really well, cause their fans will greatly help them. We are confident in what we are doing. Tomorrow there’s an another test,” said Ivan Rakitic. Croatian midfielder also spoke about Leo Messi and his great achievement: “Words cannot describe him. It’s pure football. I feel honored to have the opportunity to play with him. He’s very special and only of a kind.” I think there should be some goals in this match. Barcelona are obvious favourites, but I think hosts are capable of scoring as well.
