Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
They were in a group with last year’s finalists. They are top level and I’m not going to get into whether we are favourites or not. My team has to show that on the pitch. That is where we do the talking.
…IMANOL ALGUACIL
I hope it is not a decisive factor that he has been there six years and I have been here six months. I know the coach very well. He is a great coach. He is at home with a fantastic philosophy. They bring through many players themselves. They are well balanced. They do well in the transfer market.
…SOCIEDAD
They have been playing really good football during his six years there, and even before that, as there were other coaches who did a great job there. So they are reaping the fruits of the hard work by the club. I can only congratulate them. I hope they don’t play as well tomorrow and in the second leg.

Imanol Alguacil
Manager on Real Sociedad…ABOUT MATCH
I would say it is different. There is no doubt that the two clubs, the two squads are in the Champions League, but Inter was a finalist last year. Those are big words. But there is no doubt that PSG has a squad to be a finalist, and with a coach who also knows us very well and whom I admire a lot.
…PSG AND LUIS ENRIQUE
I know that he is a coach who also likes to push up and take the initiative, which we also like. He knows us very well and I think they are two great teams. Both of them, Inter and PSG, could easily be teams that can appear in the Champions League final, but we have already shown against one of them and playing for first place in the group stage that we are ahead. We face the game with all the respect in the world because what we have in front of us is something serious and important, but why not, if we have our big day we are going to surprise.
…OYARZABAL
If everything goes as we hope and Mikel is fine, tomorrow Oyarzabal and ten more. Let's see how he trains now and tomorrow, Wednesday, we will decide. It's better than in the last few days.
