“We have sold 18,000 tickets and we are still selling. The east and west stands will be full.
“We are ready and we are prepared. We know we will be facing a great team but we have done our homework for the match.”
Dinamo Coach Zeljko Sopic was also present at the media briefing and called for his team not to be overwhelemed by their underdog status.
“We are aware of the strength of the opposition but we will not fear the opponent.”
