What They're Saying
Atletico Nacional forward Jonathan Copete (via ESPN FC): "We are happy because we are playing well in the league, but above all else, because we're doing things well. I had a great day [in the 4-0 win over Uniautonoma FC], but we intend to keep showing more ambition each day, more strength and the urge to come out every game and compete. We know that we are at the top of the table and that is a great motivator for the team. We know of the games that are coming."
Estudiantes manager Mauricio Pellegrino (via AS): "[Nacional] are a strong team and last year they played in the Copa Sudamericana final. They have a roster that plays quality football. They are going to be a tough team to defend on the road and we expect to be up to the occasion. In reality, I'm more worried about the level we can play at."
