Rubin out to shock Barca - againRubin must win, even if only 0 vs 1
Rubin must win, even if only 0 vs 1
Rubin Kazan coach Kurban Berdyev said his side cannot rely on Barcelona resting a host of star players when the two clubs meet on Tuesday.
Barcelona have already qualified for the knockout stages and are free to tinker with their line-up, while Rubin are one point behind second-placed FC Copenhagen and a mathematical chance of progressing.
To do so, Rubin will need to secure the three points at the Camp Nou and hope that Greek champions Panathinaikos can hold or upset Copenhagen in Denmark.
While the notion of Rubin defeating Barca seems improbable, it happened as recently as last season, when the Russian club stunned the Catalan giants 2-1 in Barcelona.
Barca have rested Xavi, Daniel Alves, Pedro Rodríguez and David Villa for Tuesday's match, but Berdyev acknowledges that Pep Guardiola's men will still pose a difficult challenge.
"Tactically Barcelona won't change their style. I don't think the player changes will affect that," Berdyev said.
"The players don't make them strong, because all the players are very good and they prepare well whatever the starting XI is."
"The whole team and I are proud not to have lost here at the Camp Nou. Barcelona teach us all lessons and we have learned a lot from them."
"We saw Barcelona versus Real Madrid, of course. Barcelona were at their highest level and wanted to achieve an important result. It's the first time I have see them play with so much motivation."
"If we don't qualify, it'll be disappointing, but I think we will leave with our heads held high."
Guardiola acknowledged Barca had already accomplished their goal of qualification, but said his side still wanted to perform well for its supporters.
"We have no goal tomorrow because we've already completed our task," Guardiola said.
"We've done the job and qualified and nobody can take that away from us. Out of respect for the public we'll try to play a good, dynamic football and create as many chances as possible."
"We were also going to rest (Andres) Iniesta and (Lionel) Messi but as the B team also have an important match this week, we couldn't take any more players from them."
United, Spurs desperate to avoid Barcelona trial

Manchester United´s Wayne Rooney is seen during his squad´s Champions League group C football match against Glasgow Rangers. United and Barcelona are set to complete the formalities of the footballing championship group phase, desperately playing down their roles as favourites but also keen to get their mathematics right.
United face fellow second-round qualifiers Valencia at Old Trafford with the only issue at stake being who finishes top of Group C.
The Spanish side are three points behind but to take top spot they must become the first team to score against Sir Alex Ferguson's men in Europe this term.
Ferguson will play a competitive side as he wants to make sure United finish top and avoid the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona until the latter stages of the competition.
"We will be playing a strong side because we want to top the group," said Ferguson. "Real Madrid are top of their group, Barcelona are top, Bayern (Munich) are top.
"It's not that you're afraid of them but you want to keep them out of the road until later."
Owen Hargreaves and Antonio Valencia remain long-term absentees for United, although Michael Owen is close to making a comeback from a hamstring injury.
Barcelona, buoyed by their 5-0 demolition of Real Madrid and Saturday's 3-0 win at Osasuna, have already ensured top spot in Group D.
Fringe players such as Bojan Krkic, Jeffren and Thiago Alcantara could be drafted in for the home clash with Rubin Kazan, who can grab the runners-up spot.
"We have managed to take first place in the group, which is very important," said Barcelona star Pedro Rodriguez.
"However, it's far too early to talk about winning the Champions League."
Rubin Kazan, who stunned Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou last season, have six points to Copenhagen's seven, with the Danish side finishing their first stage fixtures with a home game against Panathinaikos.
In Group A, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admitted he is also desperate for his side to secure top spot with a victory over FC Twente because that would ensure they avoid facing Barcelona in the first knockout round.
Spurs have already qualified for the last 16 but Redknapp isn't taking their trip to Holland lightly because he knows failure to win could see them surrender first place to defending champions Inter Milan, who currently trail the Londoners on goal difference.
"Inter Milan will go to Germany (to face Werder Bremen) looking to win because that top position is important," said Redknapp, who saw Barcelona demolish Real Madrid last week.
"I think anyone wants to avoid Barcelona. It (the win over Real) was just amazing; it was as good as I have ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen a better performance."
In Group B, Schalke and Lyon are also already assured of qualification with the German side a point ahead.
To overhaul the leaders, Lyon must beat Hapoel Tel-Aviv and hope Schalke fail to win at Benfica.
Schalke travel to Portugal buoyed by their 2-0 win at home to defending Bundesliga champions Bayern on Saturday, with goals from Spain midfielder Jose Manuel Jurado and defender Benedikt Hoewedes.
