"We have a lot of respect for Real Madrid, but we are not afraid of them at all. Why should we be afraid of them? We will try to keep the form we have gained over the last two months to be very confident to beat them.

It's not about the emblem, it's about the players on the pitch. If Madrid did not have Modric, Kroos, Vinicius, Benzema, they would not have won anything. The shirt does not do it alone. Last year we lost to them in difficult circumstances. This time we will try to change the situation.

I won't be disingenuous, of course, we really want to win the Champions League. This is the only tournament we have not won yet. We have a great chance of winning all three tournaments. The FA Cup is a derby that our fans are waiting for. The Champions League is a trophy that the players would love to have," Goal quoted Silva as saying.
