"We have made history but we do not want to stop with what we have already done. We have a great team and we have to take advantage of it; all of us feel that. This is a very special time for the squad and the coaching staff. If we keep working hard then, step by step, we will accomplish more and more. That's all the motivation we need. It would be nice to become the first team to win the Champions League twice in a row and we will see if we can achieve it."

Barca do have some injury woes with Eric Abidal and Seydou Keita sure to miss tonight's match against Stuttgart while Dani Alves and Xavi Hernandez have made the trip to Germany but are doubtful. Regardless of the absentees though, Messi warned of overlooking any side in the Champions League.

"German sides are always strong. We have a good recent record against Bundesliga teams and it's helpful to play the second leg at Camp Nou. That will surely be an advantage for us."
