What They're Saying
Sevilla manager Unai Emery (via Goal): "I already said that the group is very tight. Standard [Liege] have improved. They had gone four games without conceding a goal and there we created a lot of chances. We did enough to get the 3-1 win [last matchday]. The game was of a high intensity and pace. It was a team performance and individuals contributed to it. This is a competition that excites."
"It is important to be in first place, but the group is still open," he added. "What has pleased me the most was seeing in the high level of performance. We did not relax. We have taken a step forward. We had bad draws against Rijeka and Standard, but they have not penalized us on points. We needed to reaffirm that we are aspiring to top the group."
