00:00 "We know that we have a long match to play and it can be moments where it can go your

00:07 way and moments that can change dramatically quick and that's the Champions League as well

00:12 so emotionally you have to be very prepared to play those kind of games."

00:16 Do you think the fans are going to have to see you over the line?

00:23 "I think the impact that it can make tomorrow, it's incredible. I don't think that they realise.

00:29 So we need that noise, we need them playing every single ball with us and we need that

00:34 emotional control as well to understand that the game can go through certain phases and

00:38 we have to be really intelligent to push in the right moments to get what we want. But

00:43 it's a beautiful opportunity to live those nights. It's been 14 years so everything that

00:49 we put in there is going to be worth it."

00:51 What are your thoughts on the new signings?

00:52 "I think you can't think too much about the past but obviously you want to keep building

00:55 your own history and we want to do some amazing things with this team and that's our goal,

01:01 that's our focus, to focus on us at the moment and as you say it's something really nice

01:07 to play for, to go through in this tournament. It's a big goal and a big dream for all the

01:14 players playing in football today to go far in this competition so that's a massive motivation

01:20 for all of us and that's what we're playing for. Again I think it will be an amazing atmosphere

01:24 and I think it will be a beautiful night so hopefully we can do that."
