KHEPHREN THURAM
"After the defeat against Como, we spoke because we thought it was important to discuss things. We have an excellent coach who believes in us, and we have full faith in him. We must do better and we want to do better. Every time we wear this jersey, we have a great responsibility, and it's important to take the field with the right attitude to win every match. We have faith in the coach and want to win every match.
We know that tomorrow (Wednesday, October 22nd) we'll be playing against a great team, but we're also strong and want to get a great result. Mbappé is the best, and we know what kind of player he is. Who is the best player in the world? For me, it's Mbappé, based on what he's shown tso far this season, but Dembele is also very good."
IGOR TUDOR
"Tomorrow night, I expect a big reaction, because playing here in Madrid should motivate the players. I think we'll have a great match tomorrow. They're a team of great champions. We can't come here tomorrow and overthink too much because they score goals so easily. It will be a fantastic match, between two great teams. We have to approach it the right way, playing a disciplined game, trying to concede as little as possible. We prepare for each match as if it were a final, regardless of the opponent.
My primary goal is to help the team perform at their best, putting all the players in the ideal conditions to show their qualities. I'm very clear and everything is very clear to me. I'm calm, I feel good, and I'm motivated to move forward. I want to prepare for each match like a final."
