BARCELONA have recorded a TV advert BEGGING their fans to turn up and support them against Manchester United.
The Catalan giants believe a feelgood factor in the stands will inspire the team to a first-leg victory on Wednesday night.
And Barca chiefs are banking on the video, featuring star players Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o, Carles Puyol and Victor Valdes, to ensure they do not face a fan backlash after the game.
In the advert, striker Eto'o says: "To score goals we will need all your strength."
And suspended skipper Puyol insists: "Fans, I will not be able to play but I will be one of you.
"When the team comes out to warm up they have to feel our warmth."
