Before the UEFA Champions League final, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane tried to calm the rising tension.
The Frenchman denied the bookmakers' and football experts' predictions that they are the clear favorites for the decisive match.
"People say many things. We know that not everything is as they claim.
"The final is the final. We are not favorites, just like Liverpool.
"My players will have to play great matches," Zidane said.
"We are simply enjoying this moment, preparing for the meeting and the fact that we have reached the final again."
