The former Spanish international claimed that Lionel Messi-led La Blaugrana are beatable on their journeys on the road.
Barcelona travel to the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia for their next La Liga fixture against Levante. The Valencian outfit have punched above their waist in the current season and after beating Real Madrid earlier in the season want to add the scalp of the reigning
European champions.
Reflecting on the topic, Levante midfielder, Javier Farinos, stated that he is eagerly anticipating the match against the Catalan giants and was adamant La Granotas can cause an upset.
Continuing on the topic, Farinos argued that Pep Guardiola’s charges have showed their nerves on their away travels and believes Levante are as formidable opponents as they come in Spanish top flight football.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 youth academy graduate added that La Granotas are aware of the strengths of the Camp Nou outfit and know the immensity of the task in front of them.
"Barcelona have already lost away from home before, so why wouldn't that happen again? We are aware of their strengths and know what to expect," Farinos said.
On the Primera Division points table, Levante find themselves in 5th position with 48 points to show for from their 32 La Liga outings. With a paltry 6 matches remaining, Juan Ignacio Martinez’s men are 2 points adrift of an unprecedented UEFA
Champions League qualification berth.
Farinos believes that Levante can find themselves playing in the elite European club competition if they can stop http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s 10 match winning streak.
"We will not give up just like that. We believe that we can win and we have a good chance to qualify for European football if we beat Barca.”
"We realise that it will be very difficult though. It's hard to beat teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, we are only thinking about ourselves. We can hurt them on the counterattack."
The domestic meeting is important for both sides as their end of season hopes hinge on their coming results. Levante have qualification for Champions League on the line, while Barcelona’s title challenge can face a major dent if they fail against their modest
hosts.
