Victory is a must in the Camp Nou, but the return fixture in Russia will be a difficult tie for the Blaugrana...
With Barcelona's Champions League double-header against Rubin Kazan rapidly approaching, Yaya Toure has demanded three points in the first game at the Camp Nou on Tuesday evening.
However, the Ivorian knows that Rubin will not be easy opponents, citing the Blaugrana's game against Dynamo Kiev as proof of the danger lurking in their group.
"These sorts of teams can hurt us," Toure explained to Sport.
"Russian teams are very difficult and dangerous, and we must be very focussed. We play our next two games against them and we have to win in the Camp Nou.
"We already saw against Dynamo Kiev that these types of teams are tricky and we cannot become complacent.
"Moreover, every team wants to beat Barca for what it would represent, and the coach always says that we must keep working so that we do not stop concentrating."
Though Toure expects three points against the Russian champions in Barcelona, he knows that it will be more difficult when his side have to travel to Kazan for the return match.
"We will have more problems there because of the cold, among other things," he noted. "But due to the team we have, we also have a chance to win at their ground."
