On September 19, in the first round of the Champions League, Monaco will host Barcelona. Monaco’s head coach, Huetter, stated that Barcelona is very powerful, and the 3-0 victory in the Gamper Trophy is no longer of much reference.
Huetter talked about Barcelona’s current form: “We can no longer use the match in the Gamper Trophy as a reference. Since then, Barcelona has won all five rounds of the La Liga, scoring a total of 17 goals, averaging over three goals per game. I know that Barcelona has had injury issues, but their team is in great shape, and I can see Flick making significant improvements to the team’s playing style.”
Huetter talked about Barcelona’s top scorer Lewandowski: “I know Lewandowski very well. In the 11 games he played against our team, he scored 12 goals. At his age, such performance is quite outstanding. He runs fast and has excellent shooting skills, and he is a player we need to focus on.”
Huetter continued talking about Yamal: “It’s not easy to defend him. We must do a good job in team defense. What we need to be wary of is not just Yamal, but also Rafinha, Lewandowski, and Ferran. We need to not only guard against Yamal, but the key is to limit every player in Barcelona’s squad.”
Huetter added, “This is our first appearance in the Champions League, it will be a special day, and I am very excited about it.”
