Rui Patrício preparing to face off against the world's best
Still beaming after celebrating 10 years defending the Alvalade goal, Rui Patrício was the player chosen to accompany Jorge Jesus in the press room, ahead of Tuesday's hosting of Real Madrid.
"We want the final result to be different to what happened in the Santiago Bernabéu. We showed what we can do in Madrid and we are capable of doing it again tomorrow, but all we want is the win", said the Sporting CP shotstopper, going on to talk about the prospect of facing Cristiano Ronaldo: "He is the complete athlete. There is nothing I can say against him. We can score a million ways and we will have to focus a lot of him. Every single one of us will have to do our best and we will do everything we can to get the win."
