MANAGER QUOTES

Jose Mourinho (Real): "Maybe Atletico will win. If people think it is simple, maybe we will lose, or maybe we will win anyway. It's a derby, anything can happen regardless of form. My first was managing Benfica against Sporting. We were dreadful, had only just changed manager and were doing really badly in the league; they were champions, and we thought we'd get beat 4-0. We won. This will be close - if someone wins it will be 1-0 or 2-1." Gregorio Manzano (Atletico): "We will do everything possible to win this match. We must prevent Real from expressing their attributes, of which they have a lot of . We have to make it a tight game and look to exploit the space between the lines."
