"I am very happy to have this big challenge," said Angelo. "Games like these are games I prepared for all my life.
"As a kid, I always dreamed of playing against teams and players like these. As a Brazilian, I see Vinicius Junior as an inspiration and then Rodrygo, who is a great friend of mine and an idol, is at Real Madrid too.
"We are happy and motivated. It’s a huge challenge for us and I'm just happy to be able to play in games that we always dreamed of playing in."
