Idrissa Gueye: 'Great motivation'

OPENING WEEKS

"I'm not surprised. I had already heard things, and I knew some players in the squad. The players have welcomed me well, opened the doors to me and have enabled me to settle in. I get on well with everyone, I hope that'll continue. I feel very good in this squad, with these great players. I'm happy to be here, it allows me to keep improving and achieve my goal, which is to win trophies. I'm learning a lot being alongside these players. I'm here to work and contribute what I can."

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

"I above all feel the team is highly motivated, but there is no extra pressure. We're going to prepare ourselves well, just like for the other games. We mustn't underestimate this team, which caused us a lot of problems in the first game. We are also focussed on the league, but it's true the Champions League is a great competition. On the pitch, we try to win every game."

ANGEL DI MARIA

"Angel is someone who likes a joke. In the dressing room, he's always ready to make fun of his teammates. On the pitch, he's an excellent player whom I like a lot. He never takes a step back, always tries to beat his man, to find space, to provide the final ball or touch. We hope he'll maintain his current form."
