Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, expressed his opinion about Barcelona's chances of qualifying for the Champions League semifinals 2017-2018 season. Valverde appealed to his foster children not to be over confident when met AS Roma, at the Stadio Olimpico, Tuesday (10/04/2018).

Barcelona won 4-1 over AS Roma in the first leg at Camp Nou, April 4, 2018. The Catalan squad need only a minimum of draws to ensure a place in the top four.

"Anything extraordinary can happen in a game I've known for a long time, history says it's difficult to score against Barcelona at the moment, but we can not think of that," Valverde said.

"We do not think AS Roma will get many chances or win, a mistake, too much confidence, or anything else can shut the door for us to go to the semi-finals," Valverde said.

Barcelona has a poor record for AS Roma in the Olimpico. In two away matches against the Wolves of the Capital team, the Catalan squad never won for swallowing a draw and losing.
