Xavi asks for ‘boiling point atmosphere’ ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League home clash against PSG

The biggest game of Barcelona’s season has arrived as the Catalans decide their European fate with the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Paris Saint-Germain at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium.

Barça carry a 3-2 advantage after an epic comeback in the first leg and now have the chance to finish the job at home, and Xavi Hernández wants the crowd to play a big part in the team’s ability to qualify for the semi-finals.

Speaking in a press conference on Monday the coach guaranteed his team will play with a winning attitude, and he wants the fans at Montjuïc to bring the same intensity to the stands and create a very hostile atmosphere for PSG.
