Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that he is well aware of Liverpool's history and that they aim to achieve the Champions League title. He stated, "We are well aware of the demands of this club and its history; reaching this point is very important for us since the season has been good, and we are close to achieving our goal. We will try everything; the atmosphere is good and calm. This team manages this type of match well, and the veterans help the young players create a good environment, filled with joy and confidence."
He added, "Every match has its story and strategy, I see the players very motivated and less anxious, as the match in Lisbon was the key to these successes in recent years for Madridismo. I am happy and still enjoying; calm and full of confidence, the anxiety will start tomorrow afternoon, but the players' faces will dispel everything, as they give me confidence."
He continued, "We need to plan for a match where we will show our quality; we must demonstrate tomorrow what we have shown throughout the season. It is a very important collective commitment; we have outstanding players, and everyone who played has shown great courage. Liverpool will play with intensity and high quality; whoever can show their quality will win the match."
He concluded, "I have fond memories of all the finals, and I believe we lost the final where we performed our best against Liverpool. Anything can happen in finals; we must be ready for anything. We have had time to prepare for the encounter, and we arrive in good condition. In football, there are things you cannot control, but it's a final, and it has a special flavor. We must enjoy the atmosphere until the referee blows his whistle and the match begins, without thinking too much about what might happen."
