Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane said that his squad are ready for their European showdown with Liverpool despite Saturday’s draw at Villarreal. “I haven’t got my starting XI for the Champions League final in my head,” Zidane told reporters. “We’re ready. Also we haven’t picked up any injuries tonight, which was important”.
Zidane added: “LaLiga is now over. We have the Champions League to play and we’re thrilled to be in the final. It shouldn’t be a case of choosing. We want to win everything we can, but this year it wasn’t possible to win LaLiga and we are going all out for Champions League glory. I’m not happy with our LaLiga campaign. It has been a difficult season, especially at the beginning. We were able to make things better. We know that is the case and that’s that. We did other good things this year: the trophies we won at the start of the season, the Club World Cup and now we have the final still to come.”
