"We have a squad to get excited about, those who have arrived will help us to improve a lot and if last year was very good with the Copa and La Liga, it's true we have remembered what happened to us in the Champions League with our elimination and this year we will do everything possibl to bring this beautiful cup back to Camp Nou."
