By Cyrus C. Malek
In comments reported by Marca, the Brazilian-German declared that tomorrow night's second leg will be "difficult" because of a number of factors. "Barca will be playing in front of their own fans but we need to take our chances."
Asked if the same thing that happened to Real Madrid could happen to Barcelona, Cacau commented that he believes it will be a "different" match. "Barca are a better team than we saw in Stuttgart."
Finally, the striker commented on Lionel Messi's red-hot form, declaring that his side are "not afraid of him. The way to stop him will be for everyone to work together, united in an effort to take the match."
The sides go into the game tomorrow night level pegging after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Stuttgart.
