Barcelona: Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta is hopeful his side can cope without the presence of Lionel Messi for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The World Player of the Year hobbled off with a hamstring injury at half-time in the 2-2 draw between the two sides in the first leg last week and remains a major doubt for the return at the Camp Nou.
And whilst recognising the Argentine's importance to the side, Iniesta believes there is still sufficient quality in the Barca squad to carry them to a sixth successive Champions League semi-final.
"Without doubt in this team there is a dependency on Messi in the sense that he is fundamental for us, but we are not wholly reliant on him because we are a team and everyone can score goals," he told a press conference on Tuesday.
