"We go game by game and it's still early to think about silverware. In our minds it's to go all the way in every competition and unfortunately in the PSL we couldn't make it to be in the last part of the league fighting for the top one which must be our intention and our objective every single season. Now we're fighting for the second spot which is very important to have an opportunity to play in Champions (League) next season. It's an important thing for us as a group and for the club and for the fans and we really want to do it," said Riveiro, speaking to the media after the Chippa clash.
