"We experienced a lot of pain last year. I saw fans shedding tears. It was extremely difficult for us. Now it's our turn to make amends, after the great support we've received from fans this season, by bringing them the joy they were missing last year," expressed star defender Edmond Tapsoba (25).

"We can't dwell too much on the fact that it's 2-0," Tapsoba advised. "We need to treat this as a regular 0-0 game and focus on controlling the match while playing our preferred style. That's essentially the key to our third European final as a club."
