“I already look at such matches not as a fan, but as a specialist. But from such meetings you expect first of all beautiful football, the game is of no fundamental importance, since both teams have solved their problems. It will be a confrontation for leadership. I look forward to an uncompromising, interesting game, it should relax our team. Everyone understands that we will meet with one of the strongest teams in the world. We need to try and show everything that we are capable of, ”Malafeev said in an interview with RT.
