 "We are so, so respectful with them because they showed us their capacity to go for this title and to go a long way like we are expecting. We achieved a good result there but it is not done and how they are playing and performing, we have massive respect.

“We are in the quarter-final second leg, and we had a good result, but this is a team (Bologna) that, when analysing them, watching their experience and their coach’s career playing in three finals the last three years, the respect is massive.

“They deserve this respect. When they were playing against Roma, maybe we could think that Roma was the favourite, and they beat the favourite.

“How they are competing, how they are as a team in their style and idea, how they are pushing in all their matches, we are so, so respectful. I am a coach with my own experiences, and we must play the second leg tomorrow, analysing everything we did there, understanding that tomorrow is in Villa Park.
