Schubert, whose contract has been extended until 2019, insists his side need not be intimidated. "There is no reason to be awestruck. We will approach the game with energy, joy and a willingness to fight," Schubert said.
The show of faith in the 45-year-old coach is a timely boost ahead of the visit of Luis Enrique's Barcelona, who are without groin-injury victim Messi
"We'd liked to have seen Lionel Messi at Borussia Park," said Schubert. "We always like to play against very, very good teams, but the best player in the world will be missing. Barcelona are very dangerous going forward. We have to be brave enough to play our own football against this team. We want to be true to our own style, but also react well tactically," Schubert added.
