MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has insisted his side will "respect the competition" when they host Tottenham Hotspur in their final Champions League group stage game on Tuesday.

Barca have already qualified for the round of 16 as Group B winners, however Spurs, who sit joint second above Inter Milan on head-to-head, must better the Italian side's result against the already-eliminated PSV Eindhoven if they are to join Barca in the knockout stage.
