What does the team need to improve?

“We need to improve many aspects of our game. It’s important to convert our chances; I don’t think we’ll have as many as we did in the first leg. But in these matches, if you’re able to score, it boosts your confidence. We have to score if we want to win and advance. We have to play very well tomorrow.”

“We’ve played here many times. I have, and many of the players have also played in this great stadium with that amazing atmosphere over the last few seasons. We know it, and we’re ready for it.
