Ten Hag added: "We had some good wins, at Liverpool, against Arsenal at home, really good wins.

"But this; two legs against Barcelona, the leader of La Liga, eight points ahead of Real Madrid...

"We all have seen Real Madrid in this week [when they beat Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield].

"To beat them (Barcelona), it's a big win, yeah."
