“We know that this is a game everyone cares about a great deal, but we cannot wait to get out there and play,” the captain told Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia.
“We want to beat them and expect it to be a great game. Regardless of who scores, the important thing is that the team wins.

“It won’t be easy,” smiled Hamsik. "None of us are thinking about him, anyway."
