What are they saying?

"You have to show you can cope with the pressure of this level of football. We played Real Madrid, Liverpool, West Ham, Man. United. Every game was a tough game, competitive. Tomorrow will be the same. It's impossible to breathe, to get relaxed, to be ready every three days. That's the Premier League, that's England and that's how difficult it is to be a player here.
"Every game is a big chance to prove yourself, to try to show everyone you're ready to compete. This season that's our challenge, to move on, to step up, to be consistent in trying to fight for big things. Last season we were disappointed with the group stage and we're doing much, much better this season."

“For the players, they approach all matches wherever they are with the same mentality: to win. It’s a beautiful stadium and it’ll be a great spectacle but we’re here to win.
"Wembley means a lot but we’ve got two important teams and wonderful supporters. I played in the old stadium; I won’t have the good fortune of experiencing the new one, that’s for the players tomorrow.”
