Carvajal: "We Instill Fear and Terror in Opponents"
Dani Carvajal speaks with EFE on the eve of what could be another historic day in his sporting career. On Saturday, at Wembley, against Borussia Dortmund, he pursues his sixth Champions League title. A competition that belongs to Real Madrid territory. "We instill fear, terror, in opponents when the anthem plays." The key to success.
A match where the football world agrees on one thing: Real Madrid is the favorite. Something that doesn't scare them, as for Carvajal, there are "very few scenarios" where the team isn't. Additionally, he defines his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, as "the key to success," highlights the group's strength to have reached the final, and avoids discussing the possible addition of Kylian Mbappé to a club that "instills fear" in its rivals.
Question: Ancelotti seems optimistic. How do you see the team ahead of the final?
Answer: "I see the team very well. Eager and excited. The last few weeks have been slow with the league already won and this match on the horizon. But now the 1st is approaching, and we are eager," commented the Real Madrid player.
Q: How do you manage everyone considering you as big favorites?
A: You know what? In very few scenarios is Real Madrid not the favorite. Against any opponent. We know that internally we are not, not at all. Dortmund is in the final on their own merits. They have eliminated very strong opponents, managed to top a group of extreme difficulty, and we have to do things very well to beat them," Carvajal stated.
