According to Goal, Racing Santander coach José Alberto López has stated that the team is expecting to create surprises in the away match against Barcelona.

At the pre-match press conference, José Alberto López said: "Playing on a pitch like this tomorrow is a dream I've had since childhood. Considering Barcelona's current level, this will be an extremely difficult away match, but we will strive to play boldly, demonstrate our usual quality, and compete with determination."

Racing Santander will be without suspended player André Almeida and injured players Simón Eriksson and Andrés Martín for this match. The team gained confidence from their previous Copa del Rey performance against Barcelona, where they maintained pressure until the end.

However, José Alberto López believes Wednesday's match will be completely different: "It's nothing like that match. That was a 90-minute cup tie, whereas this is a league match."

The Asturian coach refused to reveal details about his team selection, stating that in his view there is no distinction between starters and substitutes. He said: "There's no such thing as starters or substitutes—there's only performance. I will make decisions based on the players' performance levels. Preparing tactics is complicated when facing one of the world's strongest teams, but we will select the players we believe are most capable of hurting Barcelona. I won't reveal any information."

José Alberto López also praised Barcelona's coach Flick and his team, saying: "They have many attacking options to hurt you. In defense, they apply intense pressure after losing possession. They give you no room to breathe, and that's what separates them from other teams at their level. We need to be very careful, especially after losing the ball."

Regarding the key to competing against Barcelona at Camp Nou, José Alberto López stated: "They always play the way they want to play. Our team must perform at the highest level, give our best effort, and stay united. In defense, we must push our defensive line as far from our goal as possible."
