Surely this is hyperbole. We need nothing of the sort. Had Barca beaten us 2-0 then I could have conceded that we needed a miracle- albeit a minor one.
But they beat us 1-0. If we are 1-0 up with 30 mins to go I would much fancy our position because we would then have momentum.
Heck if it was 1-1 with 30 mins to go I would be optimistic. And who is to say we will not bring our "A" game and spank Barca?
Now I know if they score first etc. we will be in trouble but surely we can equalize if that is the case and really give it to them.
All I am saying is that on a given day we can beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Benfica almost did it. Remember if we score a goal, Barca will be under pressure because any winning scoreline after 2-1 suits us...3-2, etc.
We don't need a miracle. We need a very focused performance and we need to be decisive with our chances. I peg our chances of progression as 40%.

Actually, even if Barca score first, things for us wouldn't change drastically as we would need to score at least 2 goals, and along with that 1 more than they do, in order to make sure we progress to the final. Otherwise, at 0-1 for us and the possibility of PK nothing is anywhere close to being certain.
My point is that even if they score 1 goal, our task/goal/game plan is still more or less the same and in no way should we lose our cool heads in case they open the score count on that night.
