Spartak Moscow ace, Emmanuel Emenike, has restated his belief that his Russian club could upset mighty Barcelona at the Camp Nou today. Both teams clash in a UEFA Champions League game in front of the fans of the Catalan giants.
A confident Emenike, who, at the weekend, scored his second goal of the season for his Russian team, told MTNFootball.com that he would play the game of his life against Barcelona and believes Spartak could run away with a famous win.
"The game against Barcelona has been on my mind. We are looking forward to it with great expectations even though we are playing against the tournament favourites,” Emenike said.
“Barcelona are beatable and that is why they have not won all the trophies since inception. No team is invincible and all we need to do is give them a big fight. We are ready for them."
"I scored at the weekend and that has boosted my confidence even more. When a striker does not hit the back of the net in about four games, there will be pressure, but I kept my focus and the coach as well as the team also kept the faith in me. So, I’m delighted that I was back scoring again,” he added.
“I want to keep scoring and I believe I can repeat the feat in Camp Nou to help my team shock the world.
“Getting a goal against Barca will make my day, but victory will take me to the top of the world.
“I have watched Barcelona games several times and I have seen their weaknesses which we can capitalise on.
“I can't wait to debut in the UEFA Champions League group stage. It has been my long-term dream. Everybody loves the Barca style, but we will take the battle to them."
The big Nigerian international striker said he was upbeat about his chances against the Barcelona defence tonight.
"I think I can go past their defence. I don't care who marks me. I will play my game and mind you, Camp Nou is not a forbidden place to win.
"Everybody in my club, in Nigeria and world as a whole wants to see me display against Barca, but I have put everything before God. I will not disappoint."
