‘This team is going to win it’ – Inigo Martinez confident Barcelona can claim Champions League

Inigo Martinez says he’s confident Barcelona will win the Champions League after making it to the quarter-finals and semi-finals under Hansi Flick.

The defender has also given his verdict on Barcelona’s season and has been impressed by how they managed to reel Real Madrid back in earlier in the campaign.

“In a year that seemed to be going to be terrible, they have managed to turn it around. This is done by a team that is united to turn it around,” he told Sport.

“The Champions League has been a shame because it has a lot of merit to take so many points from Madrid. They have won two titles this year and the Champions League has been missing, but it will come. This team is going to win it.”

Martinez was also asked why it’s so hard to win the Champions League and shared his thoughts.

“Other teams enter the competition, your desire is equal and it depends on the day you have. Against Atlético de Madrid it was very complicated and it was a shame.”

PSG beat Arsenal on penalties on Saturday to claim the title for a second straight season, but Barca will be hoping they can improve next season and go all the way.
