Real Madrid’s Media Day opened this Monday and the starting signal was offered by Carlo Ancelotti with an extensive press conference in which he revealed from his routines in the hours before how he envisions the future of the club.
Furthermore, the Italian coach spoke of teamwork and the unity of a dressing room that I have rarely had: “Attitude has been the key to getting out of all the problems we have had. We have in mind the injuries, the absence from Vinicius, from Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni… Despite all this, the attitude has allowed us to have a fantastic season.”

His sixth final as coach
“It’s always the same, the previous ones are the same. There is happiness in being the protagonist in the most important game of the season for everyone, it is my ninth final if we count those as a player and it is the same happiness. Then worry and fear will come, as always, but before it comes I want to enjoy it.”
Real Madrid’s favoritism in the final
“We do not think about being favorites. Only in playing a game we have a rival who has done very well and has eliminated great teams like Atlético and PSG. They have shown quality, commitment and great attitude. We are convinced that we are going to suffer , to fight and fight like in all the finals.”
Vinícius Junior
“The work done with Vinicius is well done. To the great talent he has, he has added quality without the ball, he chooses when to play inside or outside… He has progressed a lot. He is more focused on collective awards. More concentrated on winning the Champions League than in individual awards”.

What worries him most about his rival in the final
“They are very quick in the transition, it is a team with attitude and commitment. What caught my attention the most against PSG was their attitude, that desire to reach the final, it is what stands out the most and what worries us the most.”
Courtois and which goalkeeper will start in the final
“It is a difficult decision, because both he and Lunin deserve to play in the final. For many reasons. Lunin has a fever. Courtois is the best in the world. I like the debate a lot, especially this week when I don’t have much to do (smiles). If I say who plays, the debate ends… I will make the decision. There is no doubt: one will play and another will be on the bench. Kepa also came, who although he has not played much, has been important in their relationship, it has been important.
