“It’s not necessary, you just have to think about how important this game is to get the right level of motivation and concentration.

“Icardi? We can’t let him breathe, but not just him. They have a good team, so we have to stay focused on all their players if we want to be happy at the end of the game.

“We need to be 11 lions, we’ll put everything out there on the pitch. And, of course, we’ll need the support of our fans too.

“It’s very emotional and exciting and there’s a huge desire to win. I look forward to Sunday.”
