Roura wary of going all-out against Milan
Away goal a killer warns coach, as Messi notches record-breaking 17th consecutive league strike
Barcelona assistant manager Jordi Roura says his side will have to balance attacking intent with caution if they are to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals against AC Milan tomorrow night.
The Catalans were again not in sparkling form as they beat bottom-placed Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Spanish standings to 14 points.
Lionel Messi came off the bench to score for a world record-beating 17th consecutive league game.
However, with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Italy to overcome, Roura is wary of conceding an away goal.
"There is no doubt on Tuesday we have to attack because we have to score goals," he said. "But we also can't get over-excited. We have to balance our need to go forward with being careful at the back.
"We know how Milan are going to play and how we are going to play. All the players are very concentrated and we know how important a game this is."
With Milan in mind, Barca made seven changes to the side who had started the 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid the previous weekend with Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique among those who started on the bench.
