"That's also what you see now at the beginning of the season here in Turkey, seven wins and only conceded two if I am correct, scored a lot of goals, so a very, very good team and a very good manager who has been so successful over here as a player." Slot continued: "So they know what it takes to win the league and know what it takes to win a game of football, so we have to be prepared for that." Regarding Galatasaray's danger from dead-ball situations, Slot remarked: "I think you've already given the answer: we've shown we are a team that can defend set-pieces really well.

"We knew Galatasaray were also strong on set-pieces, but I can tell you we were a force on set-pieces last season and we won our last Champions League game because of a set-piece [when] we scored the 3-2 with Virgil [van Dijk].

"Every team you face at the moment, you have to be so, so, so well prepared when it comes to set-pieces. Back in the days when I was still playing, we only talked about football and there was not even a set-piece, let alone a set-piece meeting.
