Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti Warns of Champions League Final's Peril

Posted : 01 June 2024

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the significant stakes of the Champions League final, labeling it as the most "dangerous" game in football, expressing both excitement and apprehension ahead of their encounter with Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. With a record four Champions League titles as a coach, Ancelotti stressed that while Real Madrid, the 14-time winners, are firm favorites, they remain wary of the potential for the trophy to elude them, acknowledging the unpredictability of the game.

 

Addressing the media on Friday, Ancelotti underscored the importance of savoring the moment while recognizing the inherent risks associated with such a pivotal match. He emphasized the delicate balance between enjoyment and apprehension, asserting that success in the Champions League final hinges on meticulous preparation, fortune, and managing the looming fear of failure.

 

Real Madrid captain Nacho candidly admitted to feeling a mixture of confidence and nerves, highlighting the intense emotional and psychological pressure that accompanies such a high-stakes game. He reflected on the unique atmosphere surrounding the final, noting the heightened sense of anticipation and tension among the players as they approach the pinnacle of the season.

 

Midfield maestro Luka Modric echoed similar sentiments, dismissing notions of overwhelming favoritism despite Madrid's formidable stature compared to Dortmund. With six career Champions League wins within reach for several key players, including himself, Modric emphasized the need for focus, resilience, and a collective commitment to overcoming challenges, regardless of the perceived odds.

 

Ancelotti lauded Madrid's remarkable ability to stage dramatic comebacks in crucial European fixtures, attributing their resilience to a combination of factors such as history, tradition, quality, and character. Confirming Thibaut Courtois as the starting goalkeeper for the final, Ancelotti expressed confidence in the Belgian's ability to anchor the team's defense, providing clarity on a key selection decision ahead of the highly anticipated showdown.
