“We are a very strong team. The players we have know how to deal with the pressure of reaching a Champions League final, but we are up against the best in Europe,” he added.
“Right now we’re in a good moment. We don’t concede many goals and we score a lot. That reflects our daily work. Now we’re thinking about the Champions League and the game against Sporting, that’s the game we want to win,” he stressed.
