He considers Eintracht a top-level, dynamic and intense team with a 3-4-3 system (Borré in the lead) and who will face the game like a battle.

“He is not going to fool us (the 6-1 with Bayern Munich). They have deserved the great Europa League they have won. It is a dynamic team, which plays with intensity, we know it well. To win we have to fight, fight and play well. We have the conditions to do it because we have trained well and we are confident. Winning the Champions League has given us a lot of hope”, said Ancelotti.

Borré believes that they can compete with Real Madrid

Minutes before the Madrid press conference, Rafael Santos Borré also spoke to the media from the Helsinki Olympic stadium. He remembered the times he faced the white team when he played with Villarreal (2016/17). He hopes that Eintracht have solidity and concentration to nullify the attack of the Spaniards.

“I had the opportunity to be in LaLiga, face Real Madrid twice. It is a team with high-quality players, but you can compete with them. The two games with Villarreal were very even, the team was able to stand up to him and take the ball from him, but Madrid hurt in transitions. It is going to be important that as a team we are solid and focused to reduce their chances of attack and take advantage of our options and moments in which we impose ourselves in the game to win the game”, commented Borré.
