The Italian giants have plaꦜyed six Serie A games without conceding while Leipzig have the best defensive record in the Bundesliga, where they are unbeaten after five games and have only shipped two goals.

"The numbers mean a lot, it gives us solidity," Motta told ꧒reporters ahead of Wednesday's trip to Germany.

"We✱ are two teams that don't sit back and wait for the opponent's mistakes. I expect an open game, a dynamic match against a competitive team who play good football.

"To do well, we will have to p💝lay with quality and maintain a good defensive phase as we have done so far, facing different teams, as well as the offensive phase of course."

The♐ only goal Motta's side have conceded this season came in their opening Champions League game, a 3-1 win over PSV, but the former midfielder has dismissed su♎ggestions the Bianconeri have played differently in Europe.

"It's not a question of the cup or the league. All games are different, when it comes to how we will face the opp⭕onent," Motta said.

"One thing is certain, we will not si🅘t back, we will always try to compete for control of the game.

&quo♓t;We have never played defensively, not even in the league, and we will not do it this time."

Motta has no new injury worries and remained tight-lipped regarding his lineup, but he has alre♑ady made his mind up over who will take to the pitch against Leipzig.

"No doubts about the formation❀, I am very sure of the choices," Motta said.

"Of course, that's if nothing happens between now and the game. ඣI can't tell you, but the players already know the team."
