The money in the game is major.

You're talking about Premier League teams and Bundesliga sides, particularly Premier League teams paying £80 million for players who don't even get into the team.

So that's what you're competing against.

It's a difficult one here at this minute, but that's for another day.

That's another conversation.

What I wanted to do is just say that it's a disappointing night for us.

We've conceded some poor goals and it's a long way back, obviously.

But we're... At least... It's OK.

There's a major test for us tomorrow.

If you'd been having a conversation with me, which you might have done, about after Michelin, we would have got long odds about being here this evening.

But I've said in the past, you know, we went to Feyenoord, got a great result there, fought with 10 men for about 60 minutes in the match against Bologna.

So I didn't really

Just didn't want those games to not count for something.

So we beat Utrecht and we're here.

So we might as well give it a go.

Stuttgart are flying at this moment.

They're fourth in the Bundesliga.

They're in a Champions League position.

I've had a look at them.

Obviously, they're very strong, physical, and got a lot of good players playing for them.
