“We are thrilled to be playing a big game like this. This is what we dreamt of since we were kids. Finally, the moment has arrived. After winning the Europa League, we are now preparing to compete for another trophy.
“We are fully focused and prepared. We can’t wait. We don’t need extra motivation; we know we’re up against a top team and this is a historic moment. Real Madrid is one of the greatest teams in football, and it’s going to be an exhilarating opportunity for all of us. We can’t wait for the challenge.”
