What They're Saying
Tigres UANL manager Ricardo Ferretti (via Goal): "I think the team showed courage, dedication, determination [in the first leg] and naturally that the [2-1] result is not good because we lost, but we still have the second leg at home. We can improve certain things and I think we still hope to advance to the final. Talk is cheap. People have to know that we are facing one of the best teams in Brazil, and we will respect them but without fear."
Internacional manager Diego Aguirre: "I think it's a fair result [from the first leg]. The advantage is ours. They have to reverse [the result], they have to win. It will be a tough match."
Tactical Preview
