Frank Rijkaard's side looked impressive winning 3-2 at Celtic Park in the first leg and Hoops boss Gordon Strachan admitted he would not put his house on his side getting through to the last eight for the first time.

But 23-year-old Greece striker Samaras - on loan from Manchester City - believes his compatriots' achievement four years ago means nothing in football is impossible, he said: "You have to believe in dreams, you have to believe in miracles."

He continued: "If you don't dream about your life, you won't have targets. The way Barca play is phenomenal, we saw in the first game how they pass the ball.

"One thing we must do is try to press them more, so that we can have the ball more than we had it in the first game. But we are going to Barcelona to enjoy the game.

"We are going to attack, to pass the ball, to run and do everything we can - you never know what can happen."
