A Win Over Barcelona Would Be The Biggest Success In My Career - Stuttgart Coach Christian Gross
The Stuttgart gaffer is looking forward to meeting Barcelona...
By Stefan Coerts
"We are very much looking forward to the game and we are highly motivated," Stuttgart's head coach Christian Gross was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
"It is absolutely possible that we can put on a performance over 90 minutes in Barcelona as we did in the first 45 minutes of the first leg. A win over Barcelona would be the greatest success in my career as a trainer to date.
"Aliaksandr Hleb didn't participate in Monday's regular training session, but that was just a precaution because he was suffering with a cold before the match against Schalke. We expect him to join in the final pre-match session on Tuesday and that he will play against Barcelona," finished the Swiss.
