“A lot has happened to the club since you last had a game like this to look forward to so it’s a fantastic reward for the fans’ dedication through thick and thin.
“And it’s always great for UK sport and for the UK as a whole to see our great teams performing on the grandest of stages.”
He added: “So, whatever happens on the pitch, I couldn’t be happier to see you flying the flag out in Spain and I know you will do us all proud. Good luck!”
