Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared his expectations from the Champions League final match against Borussia Dortmund.
"The main thing that the team has demonstrated this year: a general attitude, concentration and teamwork. Despite some difficulties at the start, the season turned out to be excellent and the cohesion and professionalism of the team helped us to overcome all the problems.
We have a balance between the older players who lead by example and the young ones with their extremely high standard. This has allowed our club to successfully navigate this transition period.
"Borussia? Firstly, they have earned the right to be in the final because they performed well in the previous rounds, beating strong teams like Atletico and PSG. They are a very solid and cohesive team with excellent players. Their defensive play against PSG surprised me.
We are very excited to play in another final. We will still be nervous, but we want it to happen as late as possible. We have to seize this moment, a great match, the main match of the year. This is the best match to experience," Ancelotti was quoted as saying by UEFA's official website.
