“We’ll face a difficult opponent in Dinamo Kiev, but it’s better that way. We’re pleased and happy to have reached the Quarter Finals.

“Now we’ll have to turn the page to get over the [3-0 Coppa Italia] defeat to Juventus, it’ll help me motivate the team.

“They have to be motivated first and foremost, and I can assure you that they are.”
