What They're Saying
Internacional manager Diego Aguirre (via Correio do Povo): "I'm absolutely sure that Inter will again be Inter's Libertadores. We are in this decision, at this stage, because we won the pitch."
Tigres UANL striker Rafael Sobis (via Goal): "The first time I played against Inter, they shouted my name, 'Rafa, Rafa.' I made a goal to win 2-1 and the next game they wanted to kill me, so I do not expect praise. Inter is where I played most of my life, but it is important to defend the other side and I really want to do this with Tigres. It's a unique opportunity for my team. I think not only me, all the players who are here working to win. The two teams are ready and it will be a very nice semifinal."
