"I've never played in Belgrade before but I've heard it's a tough place to go and the atmosphere is quite good, so I'm looking forward to it."
"It's always good to feel the atmosphere before a game. But once we start playing, that all goes out the window and we're fully focused on what's happening on the pitch."
"In terms of the best atmospheres, probably Dortmund. Feyenoord was up there as well, that was loud,"
