“It will be a very difficult game for us, that’s for sure,” he told Het Nieuwsblad.

“But I have to be honest: we go to Berlin to have fun, because you have to take advantage of such moments as a footballer. But of course, we will also prove what we are capable of.

“Union Berlin is a fantastic team and there is also a wonderful atmosphere there. We will certainly have to be at our best to achieve a result. I know some of the players, and like I said, it’s a really strong team.

“We’ll see how it goes on Thursday.”
