Gerard Pique eyeing back-to-back trebles

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique sets his sights on back-to-back trebles ahead of their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has set his sights on achieving back-to-back trebles with his side this season.

The Catalan giants stormed to the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles last term, and are on course to repeat the feat again this year.

Luis Enrique's side still boast a six-point lead at the top of La Liga despite their defeat in El Clasico, while they are already in the final of the Copa del Rey and host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tomorrow evening.

"The game against Atletico is important. We want to play a good game in terms of our play and the result. I am convinced that we will see the Barca that comes to play on big nights and we want to show people why we've won everything and that we want to again," he told reporters.

"It will be pretty even, but we've won everything and we know we are the favourites. We will go all out from the first minute, controlling the ball, a high rate of possession and try to suffocate them from a footballing standpoint.

"What we really like are the challenges that are ahead of us. We have a great team and I am convinced we'll win the league. When you take the field and see who is on your team you have no doubt. We have a great challenge to win back-to-back trebles and we're going to go for it."

Barcelona are bidding to become the first side to successfully defend the Champions League crown.
