“The watchword is consistency, because a win here would be a big step towards qualification,” Tare told Sky Sport Italia.

“We are fairly happy with what the team has done so far, but also fully focused because we realise this evening’s game is fundamental.

“This squad has been constructed with two players for every role, so because the lists are limited in both Serie A and the Champions League, we had to leave some of them out.
