“Both teams are going to be faithful to their own style," Villalibre said. 
 
"Real are a very strong team that play very well and create a lot of danger in attack. With all due respect to our opponents, we’re going to go all out for the game. 
 
“The key is us as a team. We have to play with intensity and go for the game.”
