What They're Saying
Celtic manager Ronny Delia (via Football Italia): "We have an exciting squad with young players and these matches are important to improve and show what level you are at. Inter has a lot of history and they have brought in a lot of good players, but if we perform as well as we can do, then we have a good chance. If that's [means] a draw, then we have to be happy with that."
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): "This tournament is very important and difficult. There are some very high-profile teams. We're hoping to go all the way for many reasons, but now we must focus on this game. It's hard to think of the final. There are still four rounds before that point, and it's going to be very long. We must concentrate on this match and do our best to progress. Then, we'll see as we go along. But yes, we want to go all the way. That's everyone's hope."
