FC Barcelona´s is full of confidence for the Champions League re-match against AC Milan on Wednesday night (20:45 local time) but warns that full concentration will be needed to proceed to the final in Paris on 17th of May.


FC Barcelona goes with a 1-0 lead into the match with Milan and Deco believes that the key in this second match is not to concede an early goal against Carlo ancelotti´s Milan squad:

We are a goal up, and that is a great advantage but you still need to be at 100 per cent, be careful and make sure we do not let in any goals early on. We need to stop them from playing, and get more control of the game so that Milan don't get the chances they had at home.

Deco believes that the suspended match Sevilla v Barcelona on Sunday night will be of benefit for Barça when they line up against Milan on Wednesday:

It would have been very difficult to play with the pitch in the condition that it was, so I think the postponement has benefited us.

FC Barcelona have not played since the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against the Rossoneri after their league encounter with Sevilla was postponed on Sunday following a torrential storm that made the pitch in Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan unplayable. The rest may have been good for the Barca players ahead of Wednesday's Champions League game, but the club now faces the prospect of playing two games in midweek as Sevilla could be in the UEFA Cup Final on May 10 and Barca may be playing in Paris on May 17. The Portuguese international Deco explained:

This is not the time to worry about that. We have to think about the Champions League. The only solution seems to be to play the game whenever possible, even if we have to play three games in a week.

Deco also warned that Milan will come out fighting when the two teams meet in Camp Nou. The Portugal international expects the "Rossoneri" to attack from the start as they cannot afford to defend and play their patient game after losing the first leg 1-0 in the San Siro Stadium:

...Milan will be looking to make a comeback and will be going all out to do that. They cannot sit back and wait for counter attacks. They have to do something to win the match. They will push forward and attack.
