We are the first to believe it can be done.
“We have to work hard, every player has to give everything in every ball and if we all pull in the same direction I think we can do it. “It’s very even. We’re two of the best in the Champions League. They have that plus of playing at home, but we’re going to fight, as we always do.“We have lots of players who have won five Champions Leagues. We have to make that count.”“The draw feels like last year, like a defeat,” the Uruguay international said. “It’s not a good result because we would have liked to win.
