Massive opportunity for us - Hugo Lloris

Hugo Lloris said the players are ready to ‘finish on their knees’ as they aim for a place in the Champions League Final against Ajax this evening.

The skipper spoke to a packed media conference at the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Tuesday evening ahead of tonight’s semi-final, second leg (8pm UK). Ajax hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Heung-Min Son is available after suspension, Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela are back in the frame, Moussa Sissoko has another game under his belt since the first leg and the players are positive going into one of the biggest night’s in the Club’s history, seen by Hugo as a ‘massive opportunity’.

Hugo said: “I’m very proud to be part of this team involved in the semi-final of Champions League. All players want to play this type of game and play every season in the Champions League.

“This is the main target of the Club and when you are involved, you try to compete and give the maximum every time you get the opportunity.

“We don’t want to stop at this level, we want to believe in our chances and just think about the next game. We are focussed to give our best, to finish on our knees to give the maximum and not to have regrets. It’s important to keep the belief because everything is possible.

“Ajax have a little advantage from the first leg, we have to deal with that and the only way to go through is to win. That’s how we will prepare for the game.”
