"This is an opponent that, to be honest, we did not want to meet. And they think the same: they didn't want to play against us. Everyone expected this to be the final, but the meeting will take place now.

No doubt about it. They are the winners of the Champions League, they are the world champions, they are the best team in the world today, so we have absolute respect for them. It will be a great game against a very difficult team. It's very frustrating to play against them, but I believe in our team," The Guardian quoted the Brazilian as saying.
