‘Almeria excited for Barca visit’

Almeria Coach Francisco is looking forward to playing Barcelona and hopes to welcome the Catalans back next year.

Francisco added that to play Barca again in 2015-16 would mean Almeria achieved their goal of survival and said that to get a positive result against Barca will require a great deal of effort.

“It’s a challenge and we’re all excited. I hope they come back next year as that would mean we’re in the Primera,” he noted, Marca reports.

“The worst game Barca have played was [against Real Madrid]. Before then they were undefeated and had won all their games. Everyone raved about them. A Barca far superior to us is coming here.

“We always go out to compete but we are realistic and it will be a complicated match to get three points.

“It starts at 0-0 and the longer the scoreboard says that, the more options we have and we will believe we can get something positive.”
