"I'm in Rome to have treatment because I'm determined to be
ready for when Real arrive. Real were very good on the night
but nobody should be fooled into thinking we are beaten.”
Speaking in the Sun, Veron said that the contest is far from
over:
"Real Madrid might think it is over but it's not. I promise
our fans that we'll still be in the final. The contest is
not finished because every man in our squad knows the final
is fixed at Old Trafford and we must be there at any cost.
"There is no doubt that we can win 2-0 and put Real Madrid
out of the tournament even though they are the European
champions and we will be without suspended Paul Scholes and
Gary Neville."
