And I think Sparta are the same as us in that respect, we\u2019re both teams that want to go far. It won\u2019t be easy and we have to respect them at all times, from start to finish. It\u2019s a great knockout tie and we hope we can get through. The first thing to do is play. To play against the best you\u2019ve always got to be ready. Now we\u2019ve got to see what they\u2019re like and play the same way we did in the first legs against Napoli and Bayer\u201d. For the Brazilian born Spaniard, representative of the Institutional Relations Department of the club, the Yellows must remain enthusiastic about their ability to compete in the Quarter-finals as they\u2019ve got here by showing they\u2019re a very solid team. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a good journey having not drawn a Spanish team so far.
