Caceres aware of Barca challenge

Sevilla defender Martin Caceres said he is anticipating a tough encounter when he faces parent club Barcelona on Sunday.

The on-loan Catalan stopper said a complete performance from the eighth-placed side would be the minimum required to take any points from the La Liga contest at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

“We will have to be completely focused for 90 minutes, because Barcelona have such quality,” Caceres said.

“We are going to try and impose our game, because we are at home and Barcelona obviously will want to win. We will need a bit of luck and a will to win, because everyone wants to play in this game.”

Uruguayan international Caceres recounted positive memories of his season at the Nou Camp in 2008 before a loan spell at Juventus, and said the 5-0 thrashing by Pep Guardiola’s men of Sevilla earlier this season was fresh on his mind.

“I remember it (my time in Barcelona) because it was good to wear their shirt for a year,” he said.

“I have friends there and I played in the loss at the Camp Nou last year. I expect that this match will be difficult, but the manager (Gregorio Manzano) knows how they will play and will decide our starting lineup. I think that we all have the desire to win, although it will be very difficult.”
