But the 38-year-old has claimed that his team are not going to the tournament expecting to win.
“We want to make our dream come true,” he told reporters. “Whilst also remaining faithful to our mentality.
“I have said to the boys that we are not amongst the favourites. I don't want them having flights of fancy.
“Spain are the most likely winners. They have a stellar squad, with players who are already experienced in the Champions League.”
