Rome – “We want to dispel the Italian taboo.” Zinedine Zidane is determined to challenge the eve with Roma. Real does not eliminate our representatives in the cups, in knockout competitions, for 29 years, and for the Blancos coach is a disgrace to be deleted as soon as possible. “We expect a difficult match against Roma but I know the potential of the children and are serene. The Champions League is a special competition for us, for me and especially for the players. We are well and we will give everything. “

But I am confident because we have worked well during the week. ” For the occasion, Zidane has also recovered Marcelo, back from a dislocated shoulder. “We still have a few hours to decide, but I think he’s well and might be available. The important thing is that it is 100% “.

Tomorrow we will have a complicated game, but to get to the glory we have to win, we have to beat Roma. I think that the Roma, in general, have a very good team, with a lot of quality and with an equally solid trainer: playing away is always difficult, but we have our weapons. We are an experienced team and we will try to do the best. I am convinced that we will make a good game and win. But no one in Rome with whom I would like to swap jerseys are all good players, but if someone asks me, I would have no problem giving my. “
