Tata Martino Press Conference

Tata Martino on Balottelli being fit to play tomorrow: 

"When stars do not play it is bad for the fans, but good for the opposition players.”

"When you play Italian teams it is important not to give up chances on the break, as that is where they can be most dangerous.”

Martino asked what he was talking to Messi about boarding plane?"We talked about the Rosario derbi which was played yesterday, with Newells"

Martino re Messi fitness: "He's back sooner than we thought. So it was most prudent to give him just some minutes so he would feel better."

"Messi has the medical all-clear, so the risks are the same as with any other player.

"I feel same responsibility vMalaga or Levante, not just in big games. You must win all games, or wins in big games dont matter"

"At an institution like Barca you must win every game, there are exams every week, you have to play well and win every week.”
