What They're Saying
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti (via Inside Spanish Football): "The team is already picked for tomorrow. I'm going to put Medrán in from the start in midfield with Khedira and Illarramendi. He's a complete player, one who can play in all midfield positions, with quality and ability. I don't see him as your normal defensive midfielder, because he has the ability go to box-to-box like Modrić and Kroos do."
Cornella manager Jordi Roger (via Inside Spanish Football): "We come with idea of not giving anything away. They've won 16 games in a row and that's not something many teams can say. Let's see if we can end the streak. They're a team we know very well. Some others have switched off to Madrid in recent times, but not us. We will try to play our football."
