David De Gea Gives Stern Warning to His Manchester United Teammates Ahead of Barcelona Clash
Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea, has warned his team-mates that they must improve against Barcelona in the Champions League.
United travel to Barcelona on Tuesday, trailing 1-0 in the quarter-final tie and struggling for form, following their underwhelming Premier League 2-1 victory against West Ham.
And De Gea issued a rallying cry ahead of the Camp Nou blockbuster, after United failed to register a shot on target at home to Barca in the opening leg.
“Of course it’s difficult, but if you want to be a top team you have to play big Champions League games, and the weekend after it’s the Premier League.
“So you have to be focused and ready for a difficult game again. I think we didn’t play well [against West Ham], we have to improve a lot and now we have a big challenge on Tuesday.
“We will try to fight and win the game. We can go with more confidence after the three points.
“It’s a big challenge, a special occasion, in Spain, against Barcelona, a Champions League night, so it’s going to be an amazing game.
“We’re happy with the win, but at the same time we have to improve a lot,” De Gea said according to Goal.
