What They're Saying
America goalkeeper Moises Munoz (via Esto): "If they [Pumas] think beating us will be the cherry on top of their season, then their standards are low. For me, the season means nothing until you win the title. You have to be champions."
Pumas UNAM midfielder Javier Cortes (via Esto): "Every rival is important, but America are different. Every battle is challenged for intensely and that's how this game will be played. This is a great tactical battle between two gigantic clubs. It has to have intensity. Our job is to defend our badge and colors."
