What They're Saying

Saint-Etienne manager Christophe Galtier: "We can't be making a choice because we want to do well in both competitions [Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France]. Neither one takes priority. We are just lucky to be playing two straight games against sides who are in the Champions League quarterfinals. It is magnificent."
