KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE

Sir Alex isn’t letting the match with Chelsea occupy his
thoughts just yet, there is an important match tonight to
think of first:

"It's difficult to say which is the most important of the
two games, so the best way to deal with it is to concentrate
on the first one and let the Chelsea match look after
itself. We have played Panathinaikos before, and it would be
silly if we were complacent or relaxed against them.

"Three years ago they gave us a very difficult time in
Athens - and we certainly don't want a repeat of what
happened in Stuttgart earlier on this season. We need a
point to get through, and the players are well aware of how
important it is to get it.”
