A BIG MATCH-UP
"I expect a difficult match, against a renowned team with great qualities that, in the last ten years, have shown their worth in all competitions. Real Madrid is always strong in these tournaments. We are prepared. We want to advance, we want to play our cards. I really liked Real Madrid's last match. I saw quality, teamwork and sacrifice. I saw a real team. We have a difficult match ahead of us, we have analysed it well, but I told my players that these are the best matches to play. Everyone wants to beat Real Madrid, we want to try too. We have to face it like this, also with great courage. The match of the tournament for us? Obviously!
BELIEF
"The defeat against City? Defeat is part of the game and of life, you accept it and move on. Tomorrow is another match, we have progressed through the group, now there is the first step of the second part of the competition ahead of us. The difficulty of the challenge is evident, but we have to believe in it and try in every way to do our best to win and advance. Then there are also the opponents, of course, but we have to believe, run a lot, sacrifice ourselves, not make any mistakes and concede as little as possible. I believe in it, when the match starts we'll see what happens."
