Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with his team’s dress rehearsal ahead of the Champions League final. It was not the best game for the white team, but the objective of continuing to give minutes to the players who will start in Paris and also that they did not suffer physical mishaps was fulfilled.
Marcelo’s farewell
“He hasn’t said goodbye yet, he’s still our captain. He will be our captain in Paris. If in the end he says goodbye, one of the best full-backs in the world will leave. I think Marcelo is talking to the club, I don’t know.”
The eleven of Paris and the player number 12
“When Rodrygo came on, he helped a lot. But when he started, he also contributed. Everything is clear to me”.
Note to the team in League
“It’s a very high grade, because we started well and we finished better. The team has always had a commitment from collective work. Then we have had good individuals like Courtois, Vini and Benzema. But I’m left with the atmosphere in the dressing room, it has been spectacular, and this has made the difference this season. I thank them for this”.
Praise
“Alaba is going to be there to play the final, but it wasn’t necessary to take risks. He’s going to play one hundred percent. He hasn’t played since April 26, it’s true, but in this match not only physicality is taken into account. skill and experience.”
Davide
“He is in Wales on the UEFA Pro course. On Sunday he returns”
Isco’s goodbye
“We talked about it before the game. He made his debut for Madrid, before Betis and scored a headed goal. And he says goodbye with Madrid against Betis. He has had a fantastic career and has been key in Real Madrid’s great achievements. I think Francisco could have done more, yes, but I think he has been an important piece for this team. He has played many important ones, finals, he has always competed with a lot of quality… I wish him all the best.”
Bale
“He wanted to say goodbye and play if he was fine. Bale has one last chance because he will be fine for the final”
