(Reuters) - Real Madrid are confident going into the Champions League final against Liverpool and will count on their big-game experience but there is no firm favourite in Paris, according to midfielder Luka Modric.
Real are playing in their fifth Champions League final since 2014. Having won their last seven since 1998, the Spanish side are chasing a record-extending 14th crown in a rematch of the 2018 final in which they defeated Liverpool 3-1 in Kyiv.
"There is no favourite in the final. Liverpool is a great team, they are having a great season, they won two cups, they fought for the league until the end... There is no favourite but we have a lot of confidence." "He is the same, what we like about him is his personality, his humility, how he speaks with the players, how he approaches us," Modric said.
"We are strong, the mentality aspect is really good," Ancelotti said."The personality and experience this team has, you cannot say it was luck.
