Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí stated on Tuesday that the 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Newcastle United at St. James' Park is a 'good result' and that the Blaugrana team must 'go all out' in the return match at Spotify Camp Nou. The Spanish international admitted in an interview with Movistar+ from the pitch that they knew it was going to be a 'difficult ground' where the crowd 'presses all the time'. Cubarsí noted that the team must 'go all out' at home. He said that Barcelona played a great match, especially defensively. 'A small detail cost us a goal, but we have very unbalancing players up front who can cause you trouble at any moment, and that's what happened. We had to see when to press and when not to. At home, we have to go all out,' he summarized. He also added that Dani Olmo, coming on, did what he had to do, provoked a penalty, and they took a draw that is a good result. When asked about the team's physical condition, the center-back admitted that Barcelona comes from 'weeks of high demand' and that today's match was also 'very demanding', and Hansi Flick's players finished 'a bit tired'.
