What’s been said?

On Thomas Frank’s first taste of the Champions League, he said: “It’s a big thing. I’m hugely looking forward to it. I know it’ll be special when we have that Champions League anthem playing.

“Now it’s preparation, there’s a few more cameras, but it’s business as usual. When we all go out onto the pitch tomorrow then it’ll be special.

“I believe I have a fantastic squad and we would like to go as far as possible. I think the most important thing is that it’s one game at a time. Villarreal are a very good team, I’ve been very impressed when I’ve studied them, but we’ll do everything we can to get a good start. It’s going to be a good challenge.”

Captain Cristian Romero said: “The important thing is that we’re playing Champions League for the first time for two seasons and that makes everyone happy, doesn’t it?

“Everyone in the group gives you that bit of excitement and we really want to start off on the right foot tomorrow.

“We are going to enjoy that we’re back in the Champions League, that’s the most important thing. I see a fantastic group, a coach, who leaves us with a clear idea. The group is very happy and we have to go game by game but I believe we can achieve great things. We hope and we are going to fight to lift another trophy.”
