Pablo Zabaleta has said all attentions turned to getting a positive result against Liverpool once the full time whistle went against Barcelona.
Speaking to the Official Site ahead of the game, the Argentinian international said that as soon as the full time whistle went in the last 16 loss in the Champions League to Barcelona, the players all knew that we had to focus on Liverpool and not dwell on things.
‘It’s important that you rest properly in between games and focus on the next game which is Liverpool on Sunday. We know how crucial the game is and Liverpool are playing very well at the moment, even though they lost to Besiktas on Thursday evening. It’s always been a tough place for us to go but hopefully we can get the three points we need and take advantage of Chelsea playing in the Capital One Cup final.’
Zabaleta goes on to say that all season we have been strong on our travels and we have to make that count and continue it now until the end of the season, and of course having tasted disappointment in the three two loss at Anfield last season, we don’t want to experience that again – as although the title battle is between different clubs this season only a victory will do for us at this stage.
‘It was really hard because we had fought back from two goals down. We showed great spirit and had a great reaction after that defeat and that’s why we won the title. We will go there to win but are expecting a tough 90 minutes but we can close the gap at the top to just two points so this is a huge game for us.’
