What They're Saying
PSG manager Laurent Blanc (via UEFA): "Our main objective is to win. We need those three points, especially at home. We don't know what will happen between Ajax and Barcelona, so we need to focus on our game. We got a very good result in Nicosia, so now we need to confirm it at home. If we don't score early, we'll have problems against this team. But we can really hurt them and that's what we'll try to do. We've been working on it."
APOEL manager Giorgos Donis: "Playing Paris, Barcelona or Ajax, that's another level to playing in the Cypriot league. But tomorrow we'll try and implement the same tactical plan as in our last match in Nicosia against PSG, while making a few improvements. I'll give a bit more liberty to the players, so they can adapt to different situations which arise during the match."
