Inter captain Lautaro Martinez shared his thoughts from the match against Real Madrid in the first round of the Champions League final stage.

The Argentine noted that the team is small enough to refresh after the clash with Napoli, but is ready before the match with Madrid.

“We had little time to renew after the race from Napoli, but we are ready before the start in this prestigious company. Get ready for a wonderful match against a great opponent at an important stadium. Our goal is to achieve results,” Martinez said..

The forward also assessed Inter's chances against Real Madrid and voted on the progress of the Milanese club in the end.

“So, we spent a number of events on a high level, three reached the finals - two in the Champions League and once in the European League in 2020 - and consistently demonstrated that we are developing.

Real Madrid has very strong football skills, but we have our own strengths. “We know that we can compete with them,” said the Inter captain.

29-year-old Martinez also spoke about the motivation to win the Champions League, and even this trophy does not yet exist in his career.

“I carefully set myself different goals - from the Italian Cup and the Super Cup to the championship and the Champions League, and even for the great club you play in order to win all possible trophies.

And tomorrow the path begins to a new mark that needs to be braved,” the Argentinean summed up.

The match between Real and Inter will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu during the first round of the main stage of the Champions League..
