Modrić: "It was unimaginable to think that we could ever catch up with Gento’’
"The game is a 50-50, we're playing against a big team who have had a great season in the Champions League," said the Croatian.
Luka Modrić spoke in the Wembley press room about the Champions League final, which Real Madrid will play against Borussia Dortmund (Saturday, 9:00pm CEST): "We're very happy to be here, with a lot of confidence and calm to face the most important game of the season. I hope we do well, as we have done all season."
The chance to equal Gento
"It was unimaginable to think that we could reach this moment but we're here and we're very happy and enjoying this moment. Hopefully we can take this step further as a team and win a sixth title because it would be amazing."
Favourites
"Everyone sees us as favourites, but we don't think like that. The game is 50-50, we're playing against a big team that has had a magnificent season in the Champions League. There's a lot of respect and that's why we're very focused and excited. We have been training well and I hope that we can show that on the pitch."
How the match will unfold
‘We prefer to go ahead if possible but we have shown many times during this year and previous years that when things don't go well we stay confident and fight until the end. We always find a way to do that and we're able to turn things around. We have to continue to have that mentality, commitment and fight, but we prefer to be ahead in the game."
Playing in London
"It's always good to play here in London because it's a magnificent and historic stadium. I'm looking forward to the game."
