Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Pep was asked what motivates him as the new campaign fast approaches.

“I like my job and to be with these players,” Pep explained to the media. “Winning is best motivation for me.

“Last season we were so happy so why not try it again?

“The target is to try to win and then in April or May next year we will see. If we are good and consistent like last season then we have a good chance.”
