"There is nothing comparable to the importance and relevance of the Barcelona-Real Madrid fight. At the football level, of course this is the culmination of my coaching experience and the highest demands I have ever faced," Lopetegui said on Realmadrid's official website.
"I only focus on the elements that are the job of the coach. I don't pay attention to what people say because it won't help me win the match."
Furthermore, Lopetegui said his team was ready to play with his best strength to face Barcelona. He certainly will not dismantle the Madrid strategy, but clearly Madrid will not be afraid of Barca.
"The team is in the best shape to display whatever strategy we choose. They never give up in putting high pressure on the team that forces us to do it."
"We will not dismantle how we will play, but we will be an easily recognizable team. This match will be played for 90 minutes. We have developed in terms of our effectiveness in both penalty boxes, it will be crucial in high level matches like this. , "said Lopetegui.
