00:00It looks like a derby already, four years in a row, facing Madrid.
00:09We've had everything, the sacrifice, the luck, the energy.
00:15Yeah, it's tough for us. We cannot deny it. We're so close to the Champions League final.
00:25Where does this performance result?
00:27We are the highest.
00:29Last season was different, this season they deserved to reach the final.
00:39Today I saw only one team. But in terms of defending, they defended, they knew how to suffer.
00:53Today, still the standard that everybody has to live by.
00:58Definitely.
01:09It's not normal to play against the same rivals all the time.
01:12But in terms of the history of the Champions League, at the end we cannot compare, to be honest.
01:18The risk increases when you are going to face, as I said before, one of the best teams and one of the best coaches.
01:29Who is the toughest opponent in the Champions League?
01:38Obviously, it's one of the toughest opponents you can come across in the Champions League.
01:43But the game is different and the game is more versatile maybe than any other.
01:48How do you feel about the game against Real Madrid?
01:56Personally, I don't sense any kind of Erling vs. Kylian vibes in the game.
02:03It's a city against Madrid and that's what it is.
02:06I'm pretty sure that it will be hungry enough to be there and perform.
02:13What I can say about Guardiola is that he is a coach who has always tried to put something new in his team.
02:21Every time we face each other, it's a nightmare to prepare the games.
02:25Because he always has ideas that make you think.
