...PREPARATION

With a lot of anticipation and a lot of enthusiasm. Of course, I don't know what they're feeling inside, but the guys give me so much confidence. We are well prepared and are sitting here today full of anticipation. It was the most important chapter of my life. It shows that you always have to get up and try again. Now we are here in the CL final. We are here and playing against Real Madrid at Wembley. We are very happy to be here.

...REAL MADRID AND ANCELOTTI

We know that they are by far the most successful team in this competition. But we also see that we are ready to compete with them at a high level. Anything is possible in a game! They are the favorites, but we don't care. We weren't the favorites in the previous games either. I have the utmost respect for Carlo Ancelotti. He is one of the few coaches who has managed to be successful with several teams in several countries. He is a great role model for all young coaches, including me.

...WINNING THE FINAL

The Champions League is not an obsession, the obsession is to compete, to do the maximum, as we have done these past seasons. Winning the Champions League is very important. I think that we can already say that this team's season has been very successful, whatever happens tomorrow.

...DANGEREOUS MATCH

In football, the Champions League final is the most important and most dangerous match. You have to enjoy it to the full, but then you start to worry that it could go wrong. We're very close to the most important thing, which is winning a Champions League. I have to put into the players' heads the keys of what to do on the pitch. The clearer it is, the less nervous the team will be. I will focus a lot on the tactical aspect. Emotions come and each one handles them with the character they have. Fear is an important part of doing things well tomorrow, and so is worry.

...ABOUT THE TEAM

We have had time to prepare for the match and I see a focused, mentally prepared and confident dressing room to face the most important match of the season. I have a lot of respect for the rival and I hope everything goes well.

...COURTOIS STARTS

Lunin has had flu and will travel tomorrow. He is fine. But tomorrow he will be on the bench, Courtois will play.
