There’s always room for improvement in sport, there’s always pressure. The defeat in Turin last year did affect us, with so many fans travelling there, but it was not to be in the end. “I feel like that was our worst performance of the season after playing at such a high level throughout the campaign.

We feel like we owe the fans a victory in the final.
