SAS™:

"Listen, I'm not going into anything about myself, I am talking about the game tomorrow. That was made clear. This is about Benfica, OK? The Benfica match is important to me. We are doing a good job in getting the players back from the defeat on Saturday.

"It is a nice break from the grind of the Premiership and it is a nice challenge to the players because they are playing against the best in the world. All the best players in the world are now playing in European football. It is a bigger tournament than the World Cup now. It used to be enough just to think you could play Real Madrid, but now you could play Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan all in the one season.

"It is better than the World Cup in terms of entertainment. In my opinion, the last good World Cup was in 1986, they have been disappointing since then. That is a long time ago, whereas in the Champions' League in the last few seasons there have been some fantastic games and unusual results. That leads me to think that this is the tournament now."
