What They're Saying
River Plate manager Ricardo Gallardo (via Yahoo Sports): "No one is going to stop me being there [after being sent off in the first leg]. It's a lie that I won't be at the team talk. I won't be on the bench, but I'll be there [in the dressing room]. What's different is that I might not be in the dugout, but people who I trust will be there and they are well prepared."
Tigres UANL manager Ricardo Ferretti (via Goal): "We have the same intention as them, in a final in which everything is even and the coin is in the air. Let's see which side it falls. I think my team does things right, but no game is like another. We will seek to get a result."
