Léo Dubois, lateral-direito do Lyon
"Our goal is to finish first in the group. It will be two crucial games. We know there will be a lot of people at the stadium. I expect a complicated match with a lot of intensity. We have to show ambition and the desire to win, start the game in the best way possible and do everything to get the three points. Sparta is a quality team, which projects itself quickly on the counter-attacks. I believe we will have possession and we must be attentive in marking to maintain our aggressiveness."
Jakub Pesek, Sparta Prague striker
"It is going to be one of the most important and difficult games in my career. We want to be successful. I hope we are ready for it. I will do my best and hope it will be enough. However, Lyon has great quality and strength. I am curious about their quality, and I am especially looking forward to Emerson who plays on my side. We need to be prepared as a team, do our best what determine the result. It is going to be a huge fight."
Nilmar shone in 2004
