Spain coach Luis de la Fuente stressed that "what Real Madrid do, nobody else does" when asked to make a prediction for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund and said that the title is unlikely to elude them.
"Making predictions when the two best teams in Europe are playing in the final, because they have earned the right to be there, is really difficult. But, respecting all the clubs, it is less difficult when Real Madrid are there because what Real Madrid do, nobody else does. The experience they have and their footballing potential, despite the fact that they have a great team in front of them, makes you think that they can win their 15th crown. I want Real Madrid to win and I hope it will be a great final for the spectators. It's difficult for Real Madrid to lose this final," he said.
De la Fuente was present in the auditorium of CaixaForum Madrid alongside Sergio Scariolo, his counterpart in the Spanish basketball team, at the ‘Entre Lideres del deporte’ meeting organised by ‘OK Diario’. There, he also referred to the possible role that his team could play in the next European Championship.
"We are a great team with very good players. But, above all, the word team, which is my real concern, to build a team. When you give your all, you can't give more. Being in a position to compete to win something is a success in itself. We're not afraid of the pressure or that they might say we're favourites," he concluded.
