Speaking to the microphones of Sky Sport, Benfica defender Otamendi spoke about the Champions League match against Juve: “We are aware that the match will be long, they play good soccer, they have great players, but the same goes for us. We have to stay calm but also be aggressive when we have to attack, and be aggressive when we have to defend. I think it will be a good show, a good game and we hope to take the three points, that’s what we are here for.”

Coach Lage then said, “Juve has defensive and offensive weapons, there is competence in their roster. We have to do our best, we have an opportunity to add points and move forward. We have to outline the 11, fix the details, but we want to practice what we know and show our unity and determination to continue in this Champions League. Decisive challenge? We just have to look at what we did. We haven’t won with Monaco in a long time and we won. Tomorrow is the last of this phase of the league, we had an opportunity to have the points by scoring 4 goals with Barça but we lost 5-4. Tomorrow we have an opportunity to play better than our opponents because we want to make great performances in the Champions Cup.” In the meantime comes a cracking announcement: Zirkzee to Juve! <<<
