Valdés: United Don't Scare Me
The Catalan stopper admits that the clash against the English champions will be tough, but he feels that the blaugrana are capable of success.
He told skysports.com, "I do not fear playing against Manchester United in this semi-final. It is true that the English club is excellent at the moment but over 180 minutes anything can happen.
"Barcelona play better against better teams. We have demonstrated in the Champions League this season that we deserve our place in the semi-finals.
"Having the second match at Old Trafford is not ideal but this is what the draw has left us with and our objective now is not to concede at home."
Stars Versus Stars
With Cristiano Ronaldo looming, the 26-year-old countered that Barça have threats of their own.
"Nobody would to doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is a star but Barca possess the likes of (Lionel) Messi, (Samuel) Eto'o and Bojan (Krkic)," he warned.
"In this respect I do not see so much difference. Today for any player to play against United is a challenge and not a problem. We will plan carefully and go in without fear."
"The draw? I had no preference about the rival. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are the same level of difficulty.
"I am a player who loves English football because of the sprit in the teams and the atmosphere in the stadiums."
