That’s the way we are all feeling, and that’s the energy that I feel amongst the team and the club. This is the status that we want, and we have earned it through incredible work, passion and quality in the last nine months. Now is the moment to make a statement, and show how good we are, how much we want it, and make it happen. It’s clear, the opportunity is in front of us, and we have to attack it.<\/p>\n
Every opponent and in every context, whether it’s the stadium, the opponent, the manner that they play, have differences. There are things that obviously have to be highlighted, whether it\u2019s their strengths or their weaknesses as well, and especially against (Atleti), there are moments in games and we have to manage that so well to be successful and win the game.<\/p>\n
No, because it’s not a very positive one. There are a lot of positive messages that I can send to the team. Obviously, we\u2019ve learned things from that game, but tomorrow’s game is going to be a completely different one, especially playing here. We know what they’ve done and what they are capable of, and because we now have some experience in these kind of games, so we know exactly what we need to do.<\/p>\n
You know that I don’t talk about any player that is not our player.<\/p>\n
We adapt to any context, and for the last nine months, imagine the amount of games that we have played in different scenarios, different contexts, different opponents. So, we\u2019ll adapt to the conditions tomorrow in the best possible way to be ourselves and win the game.<\/p>\n The best training photos before Atleti trip <\/span>

I don’t take it for granted because a very short time ago, this club had seven years without Champions League. So, in that very short period of time, what we have achieved is remarkable. We know the difficulty of it, we know how much we worked for this, so enjoy it, take the opportunity, embrace it, because it’s very tough to be here.<\/p>\n
I’m not surprised – it’s the last home game of the season, and you want to play at the weekend. The game, the time and the date were set and now it’s been changed, so it\u2019s not ideal, especially for our supporters. But the TV has the right to do so, so they’ve done it and unfortunately, we’re going to have to adapt to that as well and play our game, and try to have everybody in that stadium in the same manner, with the same energy, because we know what is at stake.<\/p>\n
We don’t know yet. He’s doing some stuff on the pitch at the moment, but we need to get the gears up and be able to do more things before he can compete with us.<\/p>\n
We have to do better. Obviously, the more we can take shots, the quality of those shots, and it was a great example against Newcastle what can happen. We want to improve in every department but at the same time, to be where we are sitting here tonight, you have to be exceptional, one of the top four teams in Europe to be here. So, imagine how difficult that is.<\/p>\n
That’s what we want to do, we have prepared the game to win it – there’s no question about that. We have to be ourselves and do what we do constantly with our opponents. And then, let’s see what the game throws, the level that we can show, the quality that we can show, and hopefully that’s going to be the case.<\/p>\n Stats: Our superb UCL streak against Spanish sides <\/span>

The passion for the game, for the profession. He\u2019s omeone who has transformed this club in 15 years, and the way he has done it, the consistency, the result he has achieved, the way he has done it, how he has revealed himself in everything. I have always admired him as a person. Everyone has their own style; the one who feels, the one who can galvanise his players, the one who has a relationship with the club. He\u2019s a reference for all.<\/p>\n
I just walked on the grass, and it is very good. What happens up there, none of us knows. Especially at this time of the game, we will adapt to the context. The good thing is that in the last 10 months we have played in infinite scenarios, rivals, contexts, and the team has arrived here because it is ready to adapt.<\/p>\n
It is not a question of fear. They are strong and they have many strengths, because otherwise they would not be where they are, just like us. Firstly, the togetherness they have, the energy they are able to generate in this stadium is one. The belief and the experience, because they have already done it. The ability to level up that they have. At the moment, the details are very important.<\/p>\n
Understanding what is happening at the moment, how they are activated and what makes them tick. We have identified their threats. Tomorrow, we have to be able to test them quickly and not let them pass. And above all, we have to make sure that we go toe-to-toe with them.<\/p>\n How to watch Atletico Madrid v Arsenal on TV <\/span>
