“We will give everything. We have no doubt that to eliminate Madrid, we will have to be at 120 per cent, at our maximum, and play the perfect game. Their enormous potential is clear, but the most important things is that they have the best coach, who always knows how to play these games. You have to watch them closely the whole time,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
