"It's hard to prepare for a game like this, but we'll go out on the pitch thinking about the final. No one could have predicted that we would be in the final, and now - even more so. I am confident that we can play a great match.

We want to play at the highest level. What we showed in the second half will not be enough. We will try to seize the initiative from the start and take advantage of the opponent's mistakes. We understand that we are at a disadvantage, but we can change the situation," Pioli was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
