What managers say

Michel: "My players want to win every single match, regardless of the rival. The message has been the same every week, we cannot change it. It wouldn't be fair on our part, nor would it be credible. As such we have worked the same, with the same intention and same level of intensity – there can be no other way." [via ESPN]

Zinedine Zidane: "We know how hard it is to win La Liga. It's very tough because there are 38 games, it's far from easy. Every week, or every three days, you have to show how much you want to win it and that's what we've managed to do so far. We work extremely hard and the players have been fantastic every day. We deserve the position we're in. We're top and now we've got to finish the job off in the final and most difficult game." [via ESPN]
