Xabi Alonso:

"There is a moment that you try to explain what is not working well, make preparations... then there is a moment that you need to kick their arse a little, in a nice way. It worked."

Unai Emery on Alejandro Garnacho:

"We want him at the same level he was for #CFC in the first part of last season and in Manchester two years ago. He’s a player we’ve signed for a long time, and we’ll help him to feel comfortable and confident to get his quality."

Xabi Alonso:

"The fans played a big part [vs Leeds], getting behind us and creating the conditions for the comeback, which the players responded to. It felt electric at times and that is the kind of atmosphere every footballer loves to play in..."
