“Ultimately, La Liga is the competition that they are always most strongly focused on,” he confirmed.
“The idea is to keep this winning dynamic going and to do as well as we did in the first half of the season. But Betis will not be an easy opponent to start against.
“Betis like to get the ball into the opposition’s half, and try to dominate possession. So one of the keys to the game will be dealing with the pressure that they create. It’s going to be an interesting, difficult encounter.”
Betis will not be an easy encounter for Barca, having won three of their past four La Liga matches, and currently sitting eighth in the League.
