“We’ll have to pay attention to every detail, Juventus will close things up with five men at the back, and we’ll have to try and find the space.
“Tomorrow will an epic match, unique. The Bernabeu will be our 12th man on the field, and will help us to win.”
The Colombian international was also asked about the form of teammates Gareth Bale and Iker Casillas, who have drawn criticism for their recent performances.
“Bale? Everyone would like to play with him, we have to play as a team.
“As for Iker, he’s our captain, he’s won a lot here and he deserves respect. When someone whistles him, they whistle the whole team.”
