That last weekend, with six players rested because the Champions League was more important, they went and played against Barcelona and they lost 2-1 in the last minute.

That would put them through.

I think it's just a very, very big ask.

Look, if there is a team that can create sufficient chances, it's Barcelona.

If they get one, then maybe the psychological makeup of the game changes.

I think the fact that they played that Copa del Rey two-legged tie, where you have a 4-0 win for Atletico in the first game and a 3-0 win to Barcelona in the second, when Atletico start to think, oh my goodness, this could happen, I think that affects this as well.

I think it changes the way they approach it.

And so I just think it's very, very difficult indeed.

I don't think it's impossible, but I think the chances are very slim.

Well, I think there's no doubt that if you look at this in terms of logical analysis and you try and look at the way the two teams are set up and the fact that Bayern Munich have an advantage away from home at the Bernabeu and then go home to either protect that advantage or maybe even to extend it, then of course Bayern Munich are favourites.

I thought what we saw in this game...

was actually, in a way, kind of a really good portrait of Real Madrid.

We saw some of the things that we've seen all season that tell us that they're really not a very good team.

And for a lot of the game, they're really not a very good team.

I mean, I thought Bayern were exceptional and I thought Real Madrid just looked a level below Bayern Munich in every department.

But then you saw a reaction and you started seeing the quality of some of the players.

You started seeing the ability to make things happen.

And even in those periods of the game, funny enough, even those periods of the game where you were watching it thinking, Bayern are a better team here.

Madrid were still getting themselves chances and actually bizarrely, and it is a bit bizarre to say this about Kylian Mbappé, but his finishing wasn't that good.

Now we're talking about one of the greatest strikers in the world, possibly the greatest striker in the world and his finishing wasn't that good.
