Gandini philosophical over Barca tie

He seemed disappointed to have drawn the favourites and European Champions, but looked on the bright side.

Gandini said: “At least it will be easy to organise the away game as we have been there recently and we know the place. We faced them in the group stage and the aggregate score was 5-4 so I think it will be balanced.

“We drew 2-2 there and played well also at home despite losing 3-2, so we have confidence because I think we have also improved since then.”
