The La Liga side hold a 3-2 advantage heading into Tuesday's (16.04.24) quarter-final second leg and Xavi has promised an attacking approach from his team in the decisive clash.

The Barca boss told reporters: "It’s going to be a major football war. We are not a team that speculates; we will want to take the ball away from PSG and win the game. Hopefully we’ll be at our best. They’re going to demand a lot from us."

Xavi's side are in excellent form heading into the game as they have not been beaten since January but the coach is expecting his players to "suffer" against the French outfit.

He said: "Happy to be where we are, proud to be where we are. I think it’s a good moment and I’m excited. We feel it already. We have to control our emotions, our temperament … It’s a game of heads or tails. We want to be in control with the ball, and we want to show the best side and personality of the team.

"We need our fans to be loud because PSG will make us suffer, there’s no doubt about it, and we have to be a team to beat them. All of us, together."

Xavi believes it would be an "amazing step" for Barca to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2019 if they can maintain their advantage.

He said: "I think we need to show our best level but also personality to qualify for the semi-final.

"It would be an amazing step for the club because we didn't qualify for the semi-final stage for five years. It's a big opportunity for us. Hopefully we can reach this opportunity."
