145. Unai had this to say on Liverpool at his pre-match press conference...

     “We are analysing them and how they are playing, and they are playing really, really well. Their style and their idea in some tactical things has maybe changed, but they are playing with the same players, they are playing very well and their idea is clear. This is the same power they had before with their structure tactically. Offensively they’re a really strong team. Collectively they are in their way and individually as well."

     

146. “There’s always a new level to reach, and I hope we can achieve it. [My objective is] To keep working, contributing to the team, the club. [I want to] Continue being in the top part of the table and, well, that’s all. Above all, I want to help the team and then the goals will follow. I’m happy with how we’ve started, and I hope we continue like this.”
