What They're Saying (via UEFA)
Standard Liege manager Jelle Van Damme: "The way we play will be more important than the result because we have to show we can get out of our current difficult situation. The positive thing is that we have nothing to lose. We have to recover our pride and show how grateful we are to play for Standard."
Sevilla manager Unai Emery: "I want to emphasise that it's a key match for the group stage. Whether we win or lose could change a lot. We respect Standard regardless of their situation. Perhaps they are not at their best, but they are still strong and have very good players. We know about the great stadium atmosphere and while we have faith in ourselves, we know it's going to be very difficult."
