What Managers Say

Diego Simeone: "Qualification will be difficult but nothing is impossible in life. We have to focus on improving. The team fight, play, work and do not look for excuses. I always said I want an Atletico team that made it uncomfortable [for Real] and we are getting there."

Carlo Ancelotti: "We have a significant advantage but we need to play with the same focus as in the first leg to avoid problems. We shouldn't change our philosophy and we have to play with intensity to have possession. The best thing is to not to think about the lead that we have. It will be difficult because they are a very strong team."
