"Tottenham have had a great start to the season and are still unbeaten in the Champions League. Most of their players are internationals. They're a strong side. The Super Cup? That was the first game of the season; Wednesday's game will be different. It's a good memory because it ended well, but a bad memory if I think back to the first 60 minutes when we were struggling. We're more ready to be a dominant team and to win the match. Our goal is the same in every match: to be dominant. It will be difficult, but we'll be playing at the Parc des Princes, and we hope to play a very good match in front of our fans."
"It's easier to prepare for; we don't need to talk much because you feel that it's a different match and a different competition for us. It's our competition, we're the defending champions and we want to continue on our path."
"If Marquinhos is fit, he will play his 500th match on Wednesday. That's an incredible number. It's very important for him and all the players. It's wonderful to see a player with such an impressive track record. He's a different kind of player, a true leader. He's important and I hope to have him for many more years to come."
"It's great to know that there are very young players who can help the team. This is important for us, but also for the players who know that this opportunity exists. There are many players from the academy in the squad, and there are still others who can help the team."
