Always you are the favourite to win it all", explained the midfield player. Besides, it did self-criticism on the exert of the team in the previous keys. "In Paris cost us a lot and in the turn, with the support of the people, revertimos the situation. Against Chelsea the gone was very and this did not benefit us a lot because in the turn suffer, although we classify. We expect that tomorrow we are more regular", puntualizó the Uruguayan.
