Barcelona midfielder believes that the team has more than what it takes to win United at Old Trafford. Although the Barcelona side could only manage a draw at Nou Camp, Xavi, Eto'o and Gabi Milito believes that they have the strength to go into the finals by beating the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
'The only thing missing was the goal and that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. We dominated the 90 minutes. We are happy with the image we gave, but not the result,' he said regarding the match at Nou Camp.
Eto'o, who missed Barcelona's best chance of the match when he shot into the side-netting in the second half, also lamented his side's failure to score. 'Scaring the opposition is not enough. We ran all night, but we couldn't find a goal and that is a shame,' he said.
The Argentina defender, Milito who gave away a third-minute penalty which was missed by Cristiano Ronaldo, believes Barcelona are due some good luck in front of goal after three consecutive goalless draws at home.
Barcelona welcome back captain Carles Puyol from suspension for next week's clash, but Rafa Marquez is banned after picking up a booking.
I guess the confidence in Barcelona might just be what it takes to kick the on fire Red Devils out of the Champions' League but then again, the boys under Sir Alex Ferguson are not to be underestimate. Expect a battle that will be very much different from the one in Nou Camp.
