He said: "I have the utmost confidence in this team and we head into the final full of enthusiasm and ambition. We have a lot of respect for our opponents, but we have a lot of confidence because of the season we've had. This competition is very special for us.

"A few years ago it was almost impossible to think of catching up with a legend like Paco Gento, but now we're just one step away from a final and having the chance to win it. It's exciting to be part of this small group of players with six Champions League titles, but first we want to focus on the match, to feel good and confident about the match.

"This has been the most nervous week of the season, as we're going into a final and that's when we're most nervous. We're confident, but we're human. It's going to be a difficult game because it's a final, although this is special for the club. It's exciting for the fans, but for the players it's uneasy because it's something special."
