00:00You went to the Bernabeu in February when you were dealing with an awful lot of issues.

00:07You must be feeling a lot stronger, a lot more confident going there this time.

00:12No, I've had more players.

00:14Bernabeu is an easy place.

00:15I would say we missed the opportunity in Leverkusen to be close, but we're going to do our game.

00:24We have three options to make the points that we need to go there.

00:27It's not a competition. Hopefully we can perform like we are.

00:31Always I decide, always I wish when you go to the biggest stages to just play like who we are, winning or losing.

00:40At the end, it's important just to have a job next season, but it's not the key.

00:45I'm sure you'll be fine.

00:46I will.

00:47Simon, please.

00:49Phil has scored at the Bernabeu. He's scoring a lot this season.

00:54But how important is it just that he's playing a lot, playing high-level consistently?

00:59Phil is incredible. He's scoring at a goal.

01:02When I come home, I don't feel unwell.

01:04He said to me after, I didn't feel unwell today.

01:07Look what happened.

01:08How he runs and in behind and again the ball.

01:11I feel when he's in this momentum, in this mood, it's a gift. It's a diamond, so it's top, top.

01:23Can I just check, John Stone's injured?

01:25He was injured, yeah.

01:26Do we know how long he's out for?

01:28To be honest, I don't know.

01:29Hi Pep. Since Leverkusen, you've not made many changes to the team.

01:39There's been just sort of ones and nones sometimes, so...

01:42Why?

01:43Maybe you have to make some changes in Madrid or...

01:45No, you destroyed me, so I said I don't want to be destroyed again for substitution,

01:50so I'm going to make... I want to be kind to you.

01:55No, no reason why.

01:56I decided of that, and Bernabeu will see what happens, and three days, four days,

02:01and the momentum, we'll see.

02:03But, of course, we need... Today, Omar gone.

02:08Omar is, for me, one of the best.

02:10I know I see him as a striker, and a striker is early.

02:12Sometimes they have maybe the last minutes that maybe he deserved,

02:16but he make four or five moments in behind that was unbelievable,

02:20and that's why Nico could pass these two balls in behind to him,

02:24and... But we'll see, we'll see.

02:28Now it's time, honestly, to enjoy today,

02:30and tomorrow we'll start to think about Champions League.

02:33OK, thank you.

02:34Thank you, everyone.
