“The Final will be played at this stadium, but we know that there will still be many obstacles to get there.
“A very important cycle begins for us tomorrow and we want to come back here. Cristiano wants to win this game like all of us, and we hope to score tomorrow.
“We’re ready for this tie. Are we favourites? We feel strong, but there are many other great teams.
“Rodri? He’s an excellent player like many others at Atletico. We’ll have to be very patient tomorrow because they’re a team who know how to defend well.”
