Victor Valdes believes that Manchester United will prove tough opposition but is confident that Barcelona will be successful in their Champions League clash on Wednesday.

Valdes said: "I do not fear playing against Manchester United in this semi-final. It is true that the English club is excellent at the moment but over 180 minutes anything can happen.

"Barcelona play better against better teams. We have demonstrated in the Champions League this season that we deserve our place in the semi-finals.

"Having the second match at Old Trafford is not ideal but this is what the draw has left us with and our objective now is not to concede at home.

"Nobody would to doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is a star but Barca possess the likes of (Lionel) Messi, (Samuel) Eto'o and Bojan (Krkic), in this respect I do not see so much difference. Today for any player to play against United is a challenge and not a problem. We will plan carefully and go in without fear."
