Youngsters welcome La Masia

The red and whites are full of confidence and in good spirits when they welcome the juniors of the Spanish club, which is known for its excellent academy.

- I would once again congratulate the players on the game played in Monte Carlo. We returned to Belgrade really satisfied, because we knew we did our best. We are better from game to game, taking into account all factors, and the key is that we are younger, and quite a bit more than other teams in the Champions League. Next up is a duel with Barcelona on our field, and that presents us with a big challenge. We know what kind of opponent and with what style of play they will take the field, but I must point out that the match against Barcelona is a celebration of football for us. We will again play a match at the European level, where the boys can show their talent, quality, team spirit and fight for the crest and jersey of Red Star. I'm looking forward to playing at Maracana, because it's always best to play at home - said Milijas.

Veljko Milosavljević was the pillar of the Zvezda youth team's defense in the first three games.

- The match against Monaco gave us a big wind at our backs. I'm not saying that because it's a platitude, but we lacked a positive result, to confirm that we can play against the best. Monaco managed to beat Barcelona 4:3 at home, and we were able to triumph in Monte Carlo, which gives us hope and faith that we can surprise the next rival on our field. Of course, we must not relax at all, because we know that Barcelona has one of the best academies in the world. We play in front of our audience, we know each other well, there are of course older guys, among whom I would single out captain Šljivić, who is a real leader in the dressing room and on the field. The professional staff prepared the match down to the smallest details, which usually decide European matches - concluded Milosavljević.
