Ahead of the highly anticipated clash between Real Madrid and Chelsea in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday, the manager of the royal club, Zinedine Zidane, shared optimistic statements. The French coach, who has won 11 out of 12 knockout stages in the Champions League, sent a message full of optimism to "Merengues" fans before facing Chelsea, saying: "The feelings are really great, and we are ready; we will give everything we have to qualify for the final."
Zidane confirmed that team captain Sergio Ramos is in good condition after recovering from an injury and may play as a starter at Stamford Bridge. He added: "Ramos is with us, which means he is in good shape, and that is the most important thing because we have our captain," according to the Spanish newspaper "AS."
Chelsea, the home team, relies on its precious away goal against the reigning 13-time Champions League winners, Real Madrid, to reach its third final in this major continental competition. Chelsea will be able to reach the Champions League final if they draw 0-0 or win by any score against the royal team, which is competing in the semi-finals for the 30th time in its illustrious history.
