Ivan Rakitic has warned his Barcelona teammates against complacency ahead of their Champions League final showdown against Juventus.
The Spanish champions will meet the Italian champions in Berlin on Saturday night to determine who is Europe's top club.
Barca are the favourites to lift the trophy for a fifth time, but Rakitic believes that Juve will provide tough opposition.
"We want to be the best we can on this special day," the Croatian international is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "We don't want to change anything in our preparation and we want to enjoy it.
"We have to play wonderfully because we face an extremely talented team. Juventus have worked hard for what they have achieved.
"If you believe you are favourites, it is dangerous. We cannot control what people feel. We can only control our sensations as a group. It is very easy to say Barca are the favourites."
Rakitic has scored seven goals in 50 appearances for Barcelona so far this season.
