“If we do not do that then we will have to show character. They are a side who are quick up front, they will try and play the ball, so we have to try and stamp our authority on the game.

“The squad has been training well with intensity, much better than people on the outside would think. We see it every day and we need to show that in games.

“Fortunately nearly all the injured players are back to fitness, Dani Carvajal trained on Monday, Raphael Varane did since Sunday and that helps keep the squad competitive.

“The club and the team have been doing things well, so we are just concentrating on our objectives for Wednesday. I have been here a long time and I know the first-team’s results are the most important thing here for everybody.

“I have spent the short Christmas holidays at home with my family, so I have tried to enjoy the little time I have had with them.

“Fortunately the English press does not go on as much as the Spanish press about these things so I have been quite calm, thinking about what I have to do to beat Real Sociedad and win titles in the future.”
