The words of the former midfielder: “We were warriors on the field. We knew we had to give more than 100%”

Sami Khedira, former midfielder for Juventus and Real Madrid, has given an interview to the Spanish daily Marca, talking about his past with the Blancos jersey and his relationship with José Mourinho: “When we started in 2010, Barcelona was superior and in one or two years we erased the difference. Barcelona had superior technical skills, but we possessed a mentality and a tactical discipline… “We were warriors on the field and in every game, we felt like gladiators in Rome.” These are the first words of the German who then concluded: “Mou was a genius in these matches. The obsession, the big problem, was stopping Messi. But it’s everyone’s obsession, not just Mou’s. All of this has created an incredible atmosphere ahead of the matches. “We knew we had to give more than 100%.”
