Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal spoke about the upcoming match against Shakhtar.
– I am very lucky to have won five Champions League trophies. The key is in our mentality. The right values teach you to always win and fight. We know how difficult it is to win this tournament. I don't think anyone doesn't count us as one of the title contenders.
It is a pity that Shakhtar found themselves in such a situation, concerning what is happening in their country. It's nice to see Shakhtar compete with four points so far – maybe it helps their fans a little bit to escape reality.
–Personally, I feel great. I try to get the best physical shape. We have a World Cup in six or seven weeks and we aim to come at the best time of the year. We take into account the draw against Osasuna in a difficult game. However, this is the past. Tomorrow will be a difficult game against the second team of the group. This confrontation will be the key to securing the first place.
