Stuttgart gear-up for ‘game of our lives’

STUTTGART director of sport, Horst Heldt, admits his team must play “the game of our lives” if they are to knock holders Barcelona out of the Champions League tonight.

The Swabians were unfortunate to take only a 1-1 draw into the second leg at the Nou Camp (7.45pm), but their inspired performance at the Mercedes-Benz Arena a few weeks ago will only make the task of defeating the Spaniards even harder.

Barcelona are not going to underestimate them now, which is why Heldt insists only the perfect game will be enough.
