Taking a look at Madrid's recent success in league play, it's pretty safe to say that they are still the favorites in this draw. However, manager Diego Simeone is telling his team not to take PSV lightly.
"We are thinking of playing a 4-3-3 and we will try to make sure the match plays to our strengths," the coach said, according to UEFA.com. "PSV are good on the counterattack; they play very well with space, their second line is dangerous and they are good at dead-ball situations. [Luuk] de Jong is an important player and the main point of reference for his team."
Meanwhile, Phillip Cucu, PSV's manager, is hoping to repeat game 1's results and end this round with a shootout.
"We want to advance in the competition and we don't mind if it comes via a penalty shoot-out," the coach said (via Goal). "Playing for 0-0 isn't easy, though. We have to play football, not only defend. We'll give our all. It's our chance to advance and it won't be easy but we need to believe. We have to fight for a win or draw."
