Antonio Tapia has stated that Malaga will be going to Camp Nou on Sunday evening looking to cause a surprise by beating Barcelona as he believes the hosts' form will motivate his own players.
The Andalucian club's coach has no intention of naming a defensive side to try and keep the Blaugrana out and hopes to secure all three points.
Malaga have had a very impressive season as they lie in sixth place having defied the critics who believed that the would go straight back down and Tapia's belief in his side stems from that.
"I am convinced that we will have a good game," he told reporters. "We have Weligton, Calleja, Baha and Miguel Angel out, but I have confidence in all my players.
"Our style of play will be the same as always, although we will adjust some aspects regarding the defence and up front.
"If we do not keep possession of the ball, then we will have less chances against not just Barcelona, but any team.
"We will certainly be going there to look for a goal and to win.
"Our opponents are the best in the world at the moment, but that is an incentive for us to be at our best."
