What They're Saying
Olympiakos manager Michel (via UEFA): "I have been here for two years and everyone knows I always play to win. It is not an excuse that Atlético [Madrid] and Juventus are in our group, and nothing is over yet. We will win tomorrow [Tuesday] and will wait for the other result. We will do what we have to do and win the match. We have maximum respect for Malmö."
Malmo manager Age Hareide: Olympiacos are strong at home, no doubt, but statistics over recent years have shown that Olympiakos lose at least one game a season at home. We hope it is tomorrow. We know Olympiakos have had a packed fixture list, but we had a similar problem not so long ago and got better results then."
