Crucial moment. Xavi spoke about Barcelona's most important match in the Champions League

Barcelona head coach Xavi expressed his expectations for the upcoming match with Porto in the 5th round of the group stage of the Champions League.

"We are playing on our own field and we need the support of the fans. I hope it will be a magical night. Not everything has been going perfectly for us lately, but we are going in the right direction. We believe in what we are doing. A great opportunity will be opened tomorrow. We can secure a place in the 1/8 finals after five matches. This could be a decisive moment," the official UEFA website quotes Xavi as saying.

The match between Barcelona and Porto will take place on November 28.

Barcelona currently sits top of their Champions League group standings with nine points, the same as Porto. If the Catalans win, they can guarantee themselves a place in the knockout stages of the tournament.
