Real Madrid and Bayern Munich decide who will qualify for the Champions League grand final this Wednesday, at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Santiago Bernabéu. On the eve of the clash, Merengue coach Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference and appeared motivated and confident.
“We have to try to do our best. These are the semi-finals. We are very excited because it is a great opportunity to reach the final. There will be many difficulties, but we are in good shape and very motivated to do well. I trust because it is Real Madrid, we have a strong squad and our fans will be by our side”, he said.
In the first game, at the Allianz Arena, Real Madrid achieved a great result, drawing 2-2. Ancelotti spoke about the relationship between the two clubs and admitted that the Germans were better in the first match.
“As clubs, we are similar. They have a great tradition, a lot of success in the Champions League. We have a lot of respect for them. In the first leg, they did better than us”, he said.
Also appearing to speak to the press was experienced right-back Dani Carvajal, who has five Champions Leagues under his belt, all with Real Madrid. He commented on the great moment experienced by Vini Jr., who scored two goals in the first leg, and said he believed that the Brazilian could decide the duel.
“He has improved in everything. In finishing, tactically… He is one of the best and he is showing it. He works hard in all aspects and that makes him one of the best. I hope that tomorrow he will give us a place in the final”, he said.
To guarantee a place in the final in London, Real Madrid must win by any result. A draw takes the game to penalties, while a setback will qualify Bayern Munich.
