Leicester v Rennes: What has been said?
Rennes boss Bruno Genesio: “It’s an interesting competition for us and a good way to assess ourselves against a big European club.
“They are favourites and better equipped than us but we have to go there with a lot of confidence and conviction.
“They are a team with a lot of experience, who played in the Champions League and were champions of England not so long ago. It is one of the best teams in this Conference League.
“We watched them and we saw that they were a very good team with talented players capable of making a difference. We also saw that there were things to exploit.
“We go there with ambition, humility but above all with our strengths.”
