Setien excited for Champions League debut: It's going to be passionate
The coach will take charge of his first game in the competition on Tuesday in Naples
Quique Setien will make his debut in the Champions League on Tuesday when Barcelona take on Napoli in Italy in the last 16 of the competition.
"It's my first game in the competition and it's a special motivation for it to be at a stadium like this, full of passion and history," he said on Monday.
"I think it's going to be a passionate game and I hope it remains in the memory because we play well, with personality. There's no better start than in a setting like this.
On Napoli, who have won five of their last six games after a tough spell, he says he expects them to be at their best when the game gets going.
"I always say to the players expect the best version of the opponent," he said. "It will be a tough game for both teams. It will be a hard-fought game and I expect the best Napoli. We have seen what they're capable of, like in the group stage, beating good rivals."
