What They're Saying

Sporting Lisbon manager Marco Silva (via UEFA): "We just had a bad day [on matchday three]. We normally press a lot and stop our opponents playing their normal game. I'm sure tomorrow we'll have a good Sporting performance. It will be a tough match, but everyone knows we are only interested in the three points. It's possible that Schalke will just wait for our mistakes, so we will take the initiative."

Schalke 04 manager Roberto Di Matteo: "I expect it will be more or less the same side we faced in Germany. [Kevin-Prince] Boateng can help us a lot, but we are a team and I still have to decide the one that will play tomorrow. We showed what we can do in Gelsenkirchen and that's what we are going to do. [Klaas-Jan] Huntelaar is in great shape. He moves very well and combines perfectly with the team. He is a player that I like to watch and I hope he continues his good form.

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Schalke 04's Kevin-Prince Boateng has been instrumental in Champions League play. The 27-year-old is averaging one key pass and 2.7 interceptions in the competition.
