Madrid's "Real" goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who is demonstrating excellent athletic form this season, believes that the team can reach the UEFA Champions League final, but he understands very well that it won't be easy against "Manchester City." Today, at the "Santiago Bernabeu," the clubs "Real" and "Man City," capable of playing in the most powerful tournament final, will face off for a spot. The first match at the "Etihad" stadium ended without goals, so a fierce battle is anticipated in Madrid. "Real" is considered the favorite, but two key players - Karim Benzema and Casemiro - will be missing due to injuries. "I am lucky to be able to play for the 'Real' club. It is a big responsibility, but I hope that this first semi-final will not be my last. Throughout my life, I have had many important matches, but playing in the Champions League semi-final is a huge privilege," said K. Navas. "We are facing tough matches. We are well aware of the strong and dangerous players they have. I respect all opponents, but we have to step onto the field and show the mentality of winners. We hope for huge support from the fans. They are the best in the world, so I have no doubt that we will receive their support. They were amazing in the quarterfinals against 'Wolfsburg,' so today we want to give them a celebration," added the goalkeeper who has yet to concede a goal in the Santiago Bernabeu this season. The clash between "Real" and "Man City" clubs will start at 21:45 Lithuanian time.
