What Zizou said in Post-Champions League Final Presser yesterday:
“We're ready. We've worked extremely hard to get here."
“There's no pressure. They're saying we're favourites but football doesn't work like that. It's a final and anything can happen."
Leaving players out
“There will be players who won't get the chance to pull on the shirt and that's the most difficult thing, but it's my job. It's tough knowing that they can offer something to the team and that six of them won't get the opportunity to do so. But we're all in the same boat”.
Cristiano Ronaldo
“He's a good guy and he looks out for others. He's outstanding from a professional point of view. He wants more, even just in the training sessions. He always wants to win and that rubs off on the team. He's got something inside of him that makes him a born leader. If we'd have been playing in the same era, he would have been the star because he's a goal scorer and that's the most important - scoring goals and not conceding them”.
Isco or Bale
“I'm not going to say who will play. They could play together, as I've already said. The most important thing is that we all head into the game physically and mentally prepared”.
Motivation
“Our players know what it means to be at Real Madrid. We're not going to change anything that we've done so far. We're going to be disciplined, stay calm and give it everything we've got”.
Role to be played by the centre-mids
“Every position is important. Scoring goals in the most decisive and it's not easy. I was a good footballer, but I didn't score many goals. I've scored the odd important goal, but not many. The role of the centre-midfielders is very important too”.
Juventus
“I don't know what will worry Juventus, probably the entire Madrid team. Juventus are not just defence, where they are very strong."
