Both clubs are on course for the treble this season after securing League and domestic cup honours, with the Catalans looking ominous after a convincing 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao in their Spanish Cup Final over the weekend.
The Old Lady’s Italian international Claudio Marchisio is eagerly anticipating Saturday’s showdown against the in-form La Liga club, who he feels his side will respect, rather than fear.
"We're happy because if we look at the start of the season no one was betting on us to reach the final," Marchisio said in a news conference on Monday. "We're enjoying the week but focusing and preparing hard because we're facing a great team.
"We have to be focused, [we are] facing a great team with three great strikers, [they have scored] 120 goals - we know their potential, but we work hard, we have motivation and have to think about preparing hard for the match.
"We have expectations and want to show our best potential, while respecting a great squad like Barcelona - but we do not fear them."
The 29-year-old feels star striker Carlos Tevez will be “fundamental” for the Bianconeri if they are to overcome the Blaugrana in Berlin.
"What can we say about Carlos? Since he came here he has been exceptional,” he said.
"He had been presented in many wrong ways, many thought he's a player that creates problems but he was really humble.
"He's one of the main strengths of the squad. He's fundamental for us."
Saturday’s final is scheduled to kick-off at 8:45pm.
