Milan –
There was an opinion that stated that Real Madrid not the favorite to win the Champions League this season. Inter Milan coach, Antonio Conte, laugh at it.
Madrid is the most successful team in Champions League. In total there are 13 trophies won with the last three titles coming in succession or four in the last seven seasons.
However, Real Madrid has seen a decline since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. In the last two editions, Los Blancos were eliminated in the last 16.
In the 2020/2021 Champions League, Madrid’s journey will not be easy. Zinedine Zidane’s team entered Group B with Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, and Borussia Moenchengladbach.
There are opinions that say it is difficult for Real Madrid to win the Champions League this season. The Los Blancos squad has also not changed. One of the opinions or judgments came from Jorge Valdano as a former Real Madrid player.
Conte does not understand the assessment that Madrid are not favorites. The Italian coach even laughed when he heard this assumption.
“I don’t know if we are considered the favorites in this group,” said Conte in the press conference ahead of Inter vs Gladbach, quoted by Marca.
“Real Madrid have important players who have won the Champions League several times. It makes me laugh when I hear that Real Madrid is not the favorite. Such evaluation must always be serious,” Conte insisted.
On the other hand, Conte don’t have a good experience in the Champions League. His furthest step as a coach is only until the quarter-finals.
