'IT'S ALL ABOUT SILVERWARE'
"I don't play football to finish fourth, fifth or sixth. You do it for the occasions regardless of competitions. It's about winning trophies. That's what fans and players look back on, those moments when you got to lift trophies. The infrastructure of the club is in place to be successful. If we were to reach the final, that's sustained success over a period of time in terms of finals reached and trophies won."

'WE KNOW HOW TO GET THE JOB DONE'
"We're playing now in a one-off game. I know we have been able to do a good job against difficult teams and that has really helped us [...We will show] the same character we have shown to get to this stage. We know how to get the job done, Rennes and PSV were difficult games against good sides. It’s a similar mentality."
