"I liked the game. We did not start well, it could have become more complicated with a bit of frenzy in the game. I think that the goal trol it at the beginning. The goal (conceded) did not affect the attitude of the team. We came back, recovered well the match in the first half and controlled in the second half."

"We had an experience against Chelsea last year last year when we were two goals up and and that match was very hard for us. The truth is that we have an advantage, therefore we are the favourites, but it's also true that we have to play 90 minutes at the best of our possibilities with the same attitude with which we played the match in the first leg, keeping in mind that we have the advantage because this is something we cannot hide. We have the advantage and hopefully we'll exploit this advantage with top a game. We can't think we can speculate on the result, the minutes. No, we have to play 90 minutes at our best like we did in the first leg."
