"We have a positive dynamic and it is a good moment to play against Barcelona, which is the most complicated rival that we have played in last few years.
"It's never a good time to play at Camp Nou but it is better to do so when you have confidence.
"We have found a good streak after those two draws [against Alaves and Leganes] and we started well in the Champions League [a 1-0 win over PSV]. Our confidence is high."
