Is there a goal missing?
"Not. I think that for tomorrow's game it is clear that we have to attack and score, but we also have to have balance against a team that attacks very well. In our team the goal can come from many players. We have players with different and complementary qualities. We trust all the players and there are also the changes, which can make a difference in these games. We have a large squad and we have to be effective and score when we have the opportunity to do so ”.
Empty field
“The empty stadium is a different context for the two teams. It is true that we play in their field, but the Champions It is a competition of emotions and whether the fans are with you or against you always gives something more. There are no advantages to these things. You have to adapt to the context, which is different from what we are used to ”.
