Real Madrid is gearing up for the final showdown with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at Wembley, and coach Carlo Ancelotti is exuding confidence. His team recently finished their LaLiga season with a 0-0 draw against Real Betis, already securing the league title well in advance. With Madrid being the most successful team in European Cup history, Ancelotti is optimistic about their chances in the final.
Ancelotti emphasized that his team is fully focused and in “Champions League mode” as they prepare for the crucial game. The coach, who has vast experience in European Cup finals both as a player and a manager, expressed excitement and determination ahead of the match. He believes that his team is well-prepared for the challenge and is not taking it lightly, knowing that the world will be watching.
One of the key decisions Ancelotti faces is choosing between goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin for the final. While Courtois is returning from an injury, Lunin has been exceptional throughout the season. Ancelotti admitted that it is a tough decision as both players deserve a spot on the field. However, he hinted that only one will start, leaving the other on the bench for the crucial match.
Midfielder Toni Kroos, who recently announced his retirement, is another focal point for Ancelotti. The coach believes that Kroos has already solidified his legacy at the club and doesn’t need another trophy to be remembered as a legend. However, Ancelotti expressed his desire for Kroos to end his career on a high note by winning the Champions League, emphasizing the player’s contributions to the team.
Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti’s leadership is entering the Champions League final with determination and focus. The team’s rich history in the competition, combined with the coach’s experience and confidence, makes them a formidable opponent. With key decisions to make regarding the starting lineup and seasoned players like Kroos in the mix, Madrid is gearing up for a memorable clash at Wembley.
