The captain backed up the speech he made at the start of the season

It's no secret that Barcelona want to win the Champions League this year. Argentine star Lionel Messi, speaking to Catalunya Radio's 'Tot Costa', had no doubts about it.

“It’s time. We have had three years in a row being knocked out of the Champions League and a hurt further still from last season’s result in Rome," said Messi.

“We have a spectacular squad and we can fight for it. We lost chances to win it in the Guardiola era against Inter and Chelsea. We were better than them and we could not get to the final because of small details and little things.”
