Echaide: We can upset Barca

Osasuna defender Ion Echaide has claimed that his side can cause an upset against Barcelona next week.

The Rojillos host the Blaugrana at El Sadar next Saturday, and the full-back has insisted that his men can at least draw with Tata Martino’s team.

"The time has come. They have gone on a run winning many games back-to-back but I think we can nick a point off them,” he told a Press conference.

"They are not going to have a good time here. We are going to have our chances and we are going to try and take them."

"We can take advantage of [the Barca players representing their national teams] by playing an intense game, closing them down and doing a very good job in defence," he said.

"Whether we can win the game is another thing, because they have players of true quality."
