Francisco 'would take a draw'

Almeria boss Francisco admits that his side face an uphill struggle against Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Sunday.

Almeria boss Francisco has conceded that it will be difficult for his side to upset Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Sunday evening.

However, the Spaniard has insisted that the La Liga strugglers will "be ambitious going forward" when they travel to the champions.

"We would give anything for a draw. We are realistic. We know that a team like Almeria, visiting Camp Nou, are going to come in for a difficult time," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We might change a few things, but when we have the ball we want to try and take the initiative whenever we can. But we have to be ambitious going forward.

"Barca are a very good team and have a very good Coach. We know that. And we know that it's going to be difficult for us tomorrow."

Almeria currently sit 17th in La Liga.
