"We are facing a team that plays very well. Very good positional play, but we have hope. It is clear that hope alone is not enough, but we will try to take the game to where we can do them harm. Words don't say much, what is important is what happens from nine o'clock at night," he declared.
"I don't think they will change much. They have their very recognized style of play, with great players, with a great coach, a highly praised style. We'll see what we always see when we turn on the television to watch City," added the Argentine.
