âThe locker room is strong, eager to win and compete tomorrow. We know it will be a long and demanding game, but maybe itâs the best day for them to come. I think itâs the ideal day.â

Speaking on how it is important to stay in the present and not delve too deep into the past or previous results, the manager said,
âWe have to look ahead, not back. Tomorrow we have to go out there and give it our all and play a very smart game. We have to stay disciplined and not let them run wild.â
Finally, he was asked if it mattered to him that Real Madrid does not have much at stake for the game tomorrow and whether that would impact the result on the night.
âIâve played in games that didnât matter, but everyone always wants to win. Itâs sure to be a tough game. Last year, we managed to beat them when they were on a roll.â
