- There are things we can improve on from the first match. Our motivation is unbelievable. We know it will be difficult, but I hope it will help us to play at the highest level. For Real Madrid, the Champions League has always been and will always be a special tournament.

It is all about history. One of the best things about the club is its respect for the legends of the past. They are always remembered at the club. The team should read the game well. The players should know that there will be stretches when we have to be patient, but that's normal for a match like this. At the same time, we have to squeeze out the maximum when we have the advantage," Ancelotti said.
