"I feel good, I'm happy to have recovered well from the World Cup and to be back with my club. I'm in top form to help the team."
"The weather is great, the stadium is magnificent... it all looks perfect for the game! Villarreal are a great team. They have probably deserved more than their results suggest so far, especially against Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. They like to have the possession and know how to control a game. We always want to win and we want to rely on ourselves to do that. We are also aware that every game is different in the Champions League. This is the highest level. You can never afford to be overconfident for these games."
"He is a special coach. I'm very happy. Before being a coach, he's a person that understands his players very well. He knows what the players need. He is very clear and precise in his language, very detailed."
"Marquinhos is an incredible player that is always at an excellent level. He has helped me a lot right since my very first day here. Zabarnyi and the other defenders also step up every time the team needs them. When a player is missing, another player steps in with that level. That helps the team maintain its standards. Zabarnyi continues to adapte to our playing style. He's an excellent human, works hard and is well liked."
"I'm very happy to have been one of the finalists, but we look more towards the team performance than individual recognition. We have won the last two Champions League titles. That gives us the motivation to keep working hard and keep helping the club achieve more success."
