Players also have certain ideas throughout a match and they have to feel the freedom to express them on the field of play. It takes a mix of luck, moments and quality to eliminate a team of the stature of Real Madrid. And if luck has to be challenged, we will challenge it.”

He emphasized the need for balance between attack and defence and highlighted Vinicius Junior and Toni Kroos as key players for Los Blancos.

He added, “We played them with Chelsea, PSG and Dortmund. Karim Benzema was key and had a lot of influence. Now Jude Bellingham is the one who is that figure. The system has changed. With Vinicius and Kroos as the dominant players. In general, the task of playing against Real Madrid is about getting enough players forward, but also being ready in defence. It will be about must always achieve balance.”
