Tomorrow’s match is our key focus, we all want to get through the tie and want to see a spectacular game. We’ve worked hard to make it this far in the season and still be standing in all of these competitions, we have to keep it up. The aim is to stand united, focussed, and just concentrate as best we can on what we have to do from the first minute”.
Type of game
“This is the semi-final of the Copa, it is the return leg, the first leg is done. It was a great game and I hope we’ll see something similar tomorrow. In the second half of the first leg we did really well, particularly the end, and when we scored that goal. We got a favourable result. We need continuity because we have been dong well. The team knows that they are doing well, they know where we need to be”.
Afraid of Messi?
“That word does not exist when you are competing in football. We are enjoying the competition, We put our heart and soul into this. We battle hard to win every game. We want to enjoy it”.
Marcelo
“Each game is a new horizon, a new challenge in itself. We’ll see tomorrow who plays. We are united and focusssed on the game, We want to play and get into the final. To get here we had to beat Girona, Leganés, Melilla… It is great that we are in so many competitions and we want to win them all”.
The penalty on Casemiro
“Whenever you use technology to judge interpretable play there will be a difference of opinions. I don’t think there is any doubt about the penalty if you understand the rule in question properly. I know people get angry when a ref gets it wrong, but to do so when they get it right…”.
