"This is the moment when we can achieve something truly special. We are in top form and we have the drive and determination to do this.
"We have a driving force within, a drive that's instilled in every one of us. We are winners. We hate to lose and that's why we never give up.
"Seeing Manchester United win the Premier League last year, seeing them and Arsenal running away with it at the start of the season - that hurt us.
"But credit to everyone at the club. We refused to concede anything and just kept fighting and fighting.
"We have dominated the domestic scene in the last few years and now we have a great chance to be crowned the top side in Europe.
"I don't care how we win, what the match is like, what the score is. That doesn't bother me at all just as long as we win. To lift that trophy is all I dream about."
