Ajax should not fear Messi, Neymar and Suarez - De Boer.

The former defender believes the Uruguay international will be "emotional" upon his return to the Amsterdam ArenA but is adamant his side should play with confidence.

Frank de Boer has told his Ajax side to show no fear when they come up against a star-studded Barcelona attack on Wednesday.
The Dutch champions welcome the Spanish giants to the Amsterdam Arena in the Champions League knowing a defeat could see them eliminated from Group F.
Barcelona won the reverse clash 3-1 a fortnight ago and boast a stellar forward line of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, who is in line for his first Champions League appearance of the season against his former club.
However, coach De Boer believes his team should take confidence from a 2-1 victory over the Catalans in Amsterdam in last season's group stages.
"You always have to show respect [to your opponents] but that doesn't mean you need to fear them," he said.
"We showed last year [against Barcelona] that we can play against top teams. I want to see confidence from my team tomorrow.
"The most important thing is that we keep playing as a team and someone is always close to [Lionel] Messi. They shouldn't be afraid to play against Messi, Suarez or Neymar."
For Suarez, the match marks a return to a club where he spent three-and-a-half years, scoring 111 goals in 159 games before moving to Liverpool in January 2011.
De Boer added: "I think it will be emotional for Suarez to come back to the Arena to play his first Champions League match [this season] at his former home. It's good for him. He's a fighter, who scores easily. It will be an interesting match."
Barca have endured back-to-back defeats in La Liga and De Boer is wary that Luis Enrique's side will be desperate to return to top form - especially given the way they were outplayed by Real Madrid in the Clasico.
"They have a lot of experience. They've lost more than once twice in a row. It’s the same for us. If we lose twice there will be pressure. That’s part of being a big club like Ajax or Barcelona," he added.
"They want to get a good result. It hurts them that Real Madrid was a better team for more than an hour. They love that in Madrid, I’m sure about that. But the other way around it’s the same story. I think Barcelona want to get back in their flow as soon as possible, no matter what. They will be very motivated.”
