"If you're not at 200 per cent, you're out," he told fcbarcelona.com. "We have to charge our batteries and be prepared. I want to go through to the next round. We have a magnificent opportunity in front of our own fans and in our own stadium. We mustn't waste it."

Barcelona take on Stuttgart at Camp Nou this evening level at 1-1 following their draw with Die Roten at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in the first leg and know a clean sheet will be enough to see them progress.

"We know how important and difficult the competition is. The slightest slip and they can send you home. It's a really difficult match and we have to go flat out."
