After Real Madrid stayed in the hotel, reporters sneaked in from time to time, wanting to interview Real Madrid players.
Since Pellegrini did not issue a password, most of the players are willing to accept interviews with familiar media and say a few words casually.
Ricardo said: "Barcelona have very good players, but this season they are not in form and I don't think they can cause us much trouble. Obviously, we can easily reach the final."
Raul's words are a little more cautious: "Barcelona is always our strong enemy, even if they are not in good form, we cannot take it lightly."
Ronaldo, who was injured, did not undergo surgery, and he decided to adopt conservative treatment. This time he also came to Barcelona, ready to visit the scene to cheer for the team. In an interview, he said: "We will play against Barcelona 4 times this season. If we can kill our opponents 4 times, it will be a perfect season. I am confident that my teammates can create such a history."
