Manuel Pellegrini’s mind is set on winning the match tomorrow and reaching the Last 16.

Olympique Marseille need three goals. Does that force you to change your system?
No. We will look to win from the start and make it to the next round.

Is this a match for Raul?
Every match is for every player. We’ll see what starting lineup we come up with. We’ve talked much about Raul. He is a very important player.

What did you think of Olympique in the first leg?
We’ve watched all of their games. We’ve always known they are a complicated side and they will have the advantage of playing at home tomorrow. It will be a difficult game and I hope we do a good job trying to win.

Do you regard Diawara’s statements as a provocation?
I don’t. I don’t believe that was his intention. Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player and he will give a solid performance tomorrow. He proved he has no physical problems against Almeria.

What role does Raul have on the team?
I’ve explained this many times. He is a leader both on the pitch and on the bench. He is the only man on the squad who has played in every game except for the last one due to a family matter. His role is still the same and I believe he is a very important player on this team.

If Benzema plays, will tomorrow be a good chance to see him at his best?
We’ll know the lineup tomorrow. Benzema is a very young player who is adapting to a new team and a new language. He has already shown his quality. We’ll probably see a great Benzema againsrt Olympique. We have a lot of faith in him.
