They will face a fiery atmosphere in the Turkish capital but Ten Hag has told his squad they cannot be distracted by any of the hostility.

“You have to stay calm in your head and don’t get too emotional and control the emotion,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Tuesday.

“Don’t give them anything, the referee as well. Don’t give them a moment they can take, so you have to stay away from such moments.

“You have to make it your game. It is not that important how the opponent is playing, it is how you are playing. We will make a good plan and the players, they have to decide.”
