This Monday is the start of a special week. The Champions League is back and we are really motivated to have a great campaign. I love the Premier League, as you are all aware, but we also all know that the Champions League is a huge European tournament and the best club competition in the world, where every team searches for that ultimate glory.

After spending some time back at home in Asturias, visiting family and friends, I’m starting the week feeling good. As you all know, we’ve had a few days that are different to the norm, as there aren’t any domestic games, so we’ve made the most of being able to train hard during the week and then rest at the weekend.

I know that you will be a lot more excited to read this blog post today than you would have been a few days ago. A win helps breeds confidence, so all of us will be starting the week feeling a lot better, without a shadow of a doubt.

This week we are playing on Monday, so I can’t talk about the game we’ve played, but rather those which are to come. Today’s match is very tough. Tottenham have been one of the most solid and competitive teams in recent seasons.

Without doubt, it wasn’t a good Sunday and the motivation to write something isn’t really there. The journey back from Brighton was tough, as you can all imagine. Both for us and for everyone that was there to support us.
