I don’t know where we will finish, but what is certain is that if we have this pleasure, this desire to push forward, there will always be beautiful surprises.“

“After Wednesday, there was real disappointment for everyone. But our job, whether it’s for players, staff, or coaches, is to bounce back, to regain energy to go back into battle. No one will do it for us. I don’t expect anything from anyone, but everything from my group and the energy we’re going to put back into this game, which beyond everything has a symbolic value.” Defeated in the first leg, the Blood and Gold will be keen to take revenge and assert their supremacy in this derby.
