Barcelona Are The Best In The World - Real Zaragoza Coach Marcelino

Los Blanquillos will be up against it when they travel to the Camp Nou...

Marcelino, Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza will be hoping to cause an upset when they travel to Barcelona on Sunday evening but Marcelino, a self-proclaimed "realistic optimist", has downplayed his side's chances.

"[Barcelona] are the greatest threat that there is at the moment," he explained in an interview with El Mundo Deportivo.

"We will go out to compete at a good level and we will try and create problems, but going from there to winning..."

Marcelino continued by saying that Pep Guardiola's men are "the best in the world and are some distance from second", joking that the best way to deal with them was by "tying up six or seven players".

"We will try to go from side to side as little as possible, to establish a zone of pressure and try and make some good, quick passes," he concluded, more seriously.

Zaragoza face Barcelona in the Camp Nou at 21.00 CET tomorrow.
