Luis Garcia

I think they have thought that because they've been winning without delivering good football, that was going to be the normal thing.

We are Real Madrid, we are right there, and with this and this, it's going to be enough to win.

And on these days, every single game is going to be difficult and you have to turn up and you have to give 100%.

If you don't do it, a second team can pull you out of the competition.

I'm not a big fan of these kind of speculations and rumors and talks because what I believe is that Xabi Alonso and Kylian Mbappe had a talk.

They decided what to do and how it was going to be.

And now it's done.

We're talking about players' power and I'm sure that if Kylian Mbappe wasn't fit or set, I cannot play.

it wasn't going to be playing or it wasn't going to be used during that game.

I think everything was part of a talk that he had just before.

Even I will say that Xavi didn't want to use Kylian Mbappe because he knew that at some point he's going to be needed.

And if you lose Kylian Mbappe at this stage, probably the season is over.

But I want to address a little bit about what...

what the guys were talking about Hansi Flick and his way and his manner.

Small details in big teams are as important as in the small teams.

When Hansi Flick decided to bench a player who arrived late and he was a very important player, people start talking, oh, you have to manage in a better way.

And suddenly,

Weeks after, another player arrived late and he was benched once again.

These small details are the ones that make the team understand that the manager is the one who has the decision and has the respect.

And you have to respect that.
