Khedira was disappointed by Madrid’s performance in the Spanish La Liga but believes that they should now focus on the Champions League, which is the task at hand.
While speaking about the European competition, Khedira said:
“Now we must focus on the Champions League. The tournament is very difficult and we have great enthusiasm for it.”
“Defending the League title is also a challenge for everyone, so we will not just focus on one competition.”
“Our self-esteem is not very high, but you have to get it back and you have to get in tune. This will be a great occasion.”

While speaking about marking Yaya Toure, Khedira said:
“Tomorrow I have a big challenge in facing [Yaya] Toure, even if we also cannot forget the rest of their players. City have a great team. Hopefully, we will get things right.”
