What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via UEFA): "I think we've shown in the last number of weeks that we are starting to come together again after a disappointing spell. We haven't had the consistency this season, but slowly, game by game, I can see the differences in the team, in the focus and the concentration and what we have in the squad is quality. We know it's going to be a tough game, but we've seen on many occasions what the crowd do here for the team."
FC Basel manager Paulo Sousa: "We know the realities. We know they are a historic club and we know about everything around them, the investments, the quality of the players and the number of years Brendan Rodgers has been here, so he knows the environment. But despite that, our club, year-by-year is having success. We have the ambition and courage to keep being successful. We want to do things how we usually do things, with happiness in our game, putting them under pressure and then hopefully we can have another magical night and another historic step for this fantastic club."
