Head coach Roger Schmidt expects the maximum from his team against Benfica. At the press conference, he looks ahead to the game: 'I am happy that we have come this far, now we have to give everything to finish it.'
Philips Stadium
An important weapon in the return is the home stadium. The supporters' support is important to get the necessary result, Schmidt says: "The fact that we are playing at home is an important factor. We already saw that in the first rounds. The fans are great, the atmosphere is great. We get energy from that. We proved that we are ready to play in the Champions League. Now we have to prove that on the pitch for ninety minutes.
Highest goal
For the Head Coach, there is only one thing to do in the return: win. He has high expectations for the team to get the job done: "Only one team can go on and we want to be that team. I expect high intensity from both teams and it will be exciting until the last second. We are so close and we don't want to give it away now. The Champions League is the highest achievable and our highest goal this season."
