WHAT OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ SAID

Speaking to DAZN after the Lille game, Dembele said: "We played a great game today. We are preparing well for what is coming (Liverpool). Since the start of the season, (Luis Enrique) has insisted on us playing good football. We are all involved, whether it is midfielders, defenders or forwards. Everyone wants to be decisive. We are in an excellent dynamic and we are going to try to maintain it for as long as possible. We are enjoying it a lot! We all attack, we all defend. We are a very united team, and that is reflected in results like this. It is simply fun for 90-95 minutes."

He added: "We know it will be a difficult game. It's the Champions League. Liverpool finished first, and they are confident as well. It's going to be a great spectacle."
