The Bernabeu is a daunting place but is it somwhere for players to be inspired by?
I think so. I only played here once in my career - England v Spain. We lost 2-0 and I didn’t get a kick. Xavi and Iniesta were in their heyday. I absolutely remember the size of the stadium. So for our players, some young players but also we have players who have achieved a lot – CL winners, WC winners. So I don’t think it’s something completely new to them but ofc this is a stadium and a QF is an occasion and we have to play the occasion because levels go up at this point in the competition. But we have to come here with the belief that we can perform under that pressure.
Still to a dream to be involved here and at this stage?
