He said, “Yes, I think so. I think we have the quality in the squad to win the competition.

“I think the competition is about details and you have to be efficient to win the competition. In the last moments we need more efficiency, it is a low number of occasions we concede goals and we need to create a lot to score.

“That is reality of top level, you need to be efficient to win trophies. We have the quality in the squad to win competitions. We have to move forward and improve.”
