"Every game is different. When you come into the cauldron, it is a different theatre to play in.“Barca have experienced it before, they know it’s tough. “But hopefully what we have created here in a short period of time is that we are a team that’s not going to wait for opponents." In the opening Group C game, Barcelona recorded a resounding victory over Celtic, with Leo Messi scoring a hat-trick, and Neymar and Luis Suarez also on target.Rodgers knows exactly the quality that Barca present, but feels that if his side can play to their best, they can be more than a match for Luis Enrique's team. “We have to be aggressive," the 43-year-old admitted. "We know they are some of the top players ever, but we have to get up to them and see how they cope when you are right at them. “It is great that we feel that we can win. It’s a mark of where the club’s going.”</blockquote>
