The French defender assured the press that Sevilla are not afraid of Manchester United and highlighted the importance of the fans ahead of the crucial clash

Clement Lenglet spoke to the media after the presentation of our primary sponsor for the rest of the season, Playtika. Ahead of the crucial Manchester United clash, the French defender assured the press: “We are not afraid of them. Manchester United is a great team, but we are as well. We are up for the game and our fans are always the 12^th man. I hope that we can score a lot of goals and have a top performance. It is important to score against a really well organised team and we will come out fighting from the first minute”.

Ambitious quotes that show that Sevilla is not the underdog in the round of 16 next Wednesday. Clement Lenglet added: “We feel extremely motivated because there are not a lot people who think that we are going to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. We are not a small team as we have already shown against other opponents, like Atlético”.

"We're not scared, United have quality but so do we"

To see off Manchester United, one of the key points is to take Lukaku out of the game, who comes in a rich vein of form. Lenglet is not afraid of him either: “When you play in the Champions League, the opponent striker is always top-class. We are going to struggle to take him out of the match, because Lukaku can score from all positions. We have great strikers as well that can make a mark on the game”.

Clement is one of the leaders of the Sevilla’s defence but: “I am happy with my performances, but I can give a lot of more. A year ago, I was in the French Second Division and now I am going to play in the Champions League round of 16 against Manchester United. It is a dream come true for me and my family”.
