"The objective of every team involved in the group stage is to go to the next round, to have the opportunity to play in the quarterfinals," the former Celta Vigo youth coach said.
"So, we take every game as an opportunity to get the maximum points, understanding that we are in the Champions League and it's not always possible, especially when you play away from home.
"So that's the objective. We don't know how many points will give us the right to go to the next round and the quarterfinals."
