Head coach of Barcelona Ernesto Valverde counts on winning the away match of the group stage of the Champions League against Olympiakos.

Valverde led Olympiakos from 2008 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2012, winning the Greek championship three times and the Greek Cup twice.

"For me, this is an emotional event, because I experienced a lot at this stadium. I'm looking forward to the match and expect that we will take three points. Nevertheless, I'm sure Olympiakos will not give them up just like that, because they also need glasses, "Valverde said..

"I have no doubt that fans of Olympiakos will give me a warm welcome, but I am also confident that during the match they will support their team warmly, as always. I can not single out any specific match with Olympiakos, because there were so many in the league, European cups, unforgettable Greek Cup finals. But most of all I remember the fans, because they differ from the Spanish. They are more passionate, and not only about football, but also in everything in their lives ".

The Champions League match between Olympiakos and Barcelona will be held on Tuesday, October 31. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
