Real Madrid icon Luka Modri spoke to the media ahead of the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, and was asked if this week was the quietest week of build-up to a final for some time. Its not the quietest, Im sure, he responded. Everyone is putting us up as favorites, but thats not the case, I see it as 50-55%. Dortmund is a big team that has had a great season in the Champions League and will make it difficult. We need to concentrate and to show it on the pitch.
Modri on the feeling in the camp
We are very happy to be here, with a lot of confidence to face the most important game of the year. I hope we do well.
Modri on equalling Paco Gentos six European Cups
Unimaginable. We are enjoying this moment, we feel happy and ambitious. We have one more small step to take and we have to take it as a team. To have six Champions League titles would be impressive.
Modri on a quiet week of preparations
Its not the quietest, Im sure. Everyone is putting us up as favorites, but thats not the case, I see it as 50-55%. Dortmund is a big team that has had a great season in the Champions League and will make it difficult. We need to concentrate and to show it on the pitch.
Modri on the teams spirit to come from behind
We prefer to go ahead! But we have shown that when things dont go well, we keep fighting, until the end. That we find ways to turn games around. Always with fight and commitment.
Modri on returning to London
Its always special to come back to London and go to Wembley, a magnificent stadium. Im looking forward to the game. And thats it.
