Reigning European club kings, Barcelona will take on German outfit, VfB Stuttgart in the last 16 of this season's Champions League following the draw in Nyon on Friday.
The club's technical secretary, Txiki Begiristain was satisfied with the outcome of the draw but he also urged the team not to be complacent.
"I cannot complain about our opponents," he told GolTV.
"I believe it is a good draw for us. They are a rival that we must be wary of but as we are playing the second leg at home, it gives us an advantage and we are confident of advancing to the quarter-finals.
"It will be a difficult test, but one that is surmountable. Perhaps the only concern for us is the unpredictability and there's always the danger of being overconfident.
"It is important to keep in mind that this is the most important club competition and that we have a good chance of progressing to the quarters," he added.
Barcelona are currently away in Abu Dhabi to contest the FIFA Club World Cup. They play Estudiantes in the final on Saturday.
