If you look at our team we can't say what will happen. Some teams can control the story of a game, we don't. We will have to mark to ensure our qualification.
Afterwards, we will be able to suffer, to receive a goal, maybe the second. We are ready to suffer to reach the final. Sometimes, during the matches we are a team, then we lose our minds.
We look at the Premier League and we are the weakest team in terms of results, since we were installed. That's what I think about. At the end of the season, we can be the weakest team in the history of Premier League, but with a won European trophy. So we will not change anything. We know the season was disappointing.
– Ruben Amorim, coach Manchester United
It won't be easy. We know it's hard because the result is against us. We also know how high quality our opponents have on their stadium, but this is football. Anything could happen. MCheckester United is a team that doesn't let you escape. If you make mistakes, I punish you.
We want to eradicate the mistakes, and then to impose our style of play, as we always do, taking into account the opponent and the surroundings. We want to win!
– Ernesto Valverde, Athletic coach Bilbao
