"The key will be to score goals by improving our efficiency in front of goal. We will play against a very physical Lens team. Lens are having a great season. They have a very good team with a good coach. We know that a difficult match awaits us. Changes will be made in the starting lineup compared to the team that started against Nice."
Marco verratti
"Each player has a different profile. I do not compare any player with another. Marco is a very strong and competitive player. His competitiveness we see in matches but also in every training session. He is a very good player, one of the best I have known in my career. He always gives 100%. He has been unlucky at times with injuries but he is a very competitive and reliable player."
Leo messi
"Leo is someone who has always scored goals. It's a matter of time and a matter of efficiency. He gets a lot of chances in every game. The ball will eventually go in, and he will help us a lot, as he already does."
