What has Edin Terzic said?

We’ve had 60 games to prepare ourselves for tomorrow. It is clear they [are] favourite but we don’t care – we weren’t favourites against Atlético or PSG.”
What Carlo Ancelotti has said
Ahead of the Champions League final, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has said: “The final is the most important game but also the most dangerous. You have to enjoy being here, but then comes the worry that something will go wrong. You feel close, very, very close, to the most important thing in football. You fear it can escape you. It’s a feeling we all have. It is very hard to get here, and you feel success close so then there’s fear. That will start tonight, tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon. Lots of worry, lots of fear. That’s normal. When you go through that fear, if you win you’re even more happy.”
