We will try to give our best and try to win another title. But it will not be an easy mission,” said Carlo Ancelotti.
“It’s 90 minutes. We are talking about Real Madrid, one of the best teams in the world. The championship game is not compatible with tomorrow’s game. We have to play fast and better than we did against Athletic. They know how to manage the game and can take any opportunity to beat us, so we will have to play at our best,” Hansi Flick said.
