Speaking ahead of the decisive clash later this week, Valvberde was invited to react on the Egyptian’s talks.

And the Uruguayan said it is a kind of disrespect for Real Madrid.

“Obviously they’re words that everyone can take however they want,” Valverde told Marca.

“I’m his opponent and it’s like disrespecting the Real Madrid badge, the players… The only thing we must do is give our best, try to show why we’re in the final and let’s hope we can give another trophy to the fans and to Real Madrid.”

“I don’t know if it’s fear [that opponents feel], or the pressure that the stadium and the fans generate. They know they’re playing Real Madrid and they’re capable of doing anything, and you can see that. When the coaching staff, the team and the fans feel that, it’s like the Bermuda Triangle.”
