"The dream of winning the Champions League is always there" - Nahuel Molina

Atletico Madrid defender Nahuel Molina said on Saturday that his side are "doing well" ahead of next Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund.

"The dream of winning the Champions League is always there. We have a very important game in Dortmund first and then it will continue. The hope, obviously, is intact in everyone. We arrived in Dortmund well, with two very important victories at home, both of which were very important and we arrived well. We have to rest and get there as well as possible," he said.

He also highlighted the importance of Antoine Griezmann: "He's already a legend at the club. It's very nice to be able to play with him and know that he's a great player, that he finishes off plays, gives you time, helps you, and is a very good team-mate. Then, on a human level, off the pitch, in the dressing room he always has a smile on his face. He's very important, not only on the pitch, but off it as well".

On a personal level, the player is feeling "more comfortable". "I always try to be ready, to be available for the team, to help as much as I can in the opportunities I have", he explained at a press conference at the Civitas Metropolitano stadium.
