Champions League matches are never easy. Any time can upset the odds and knock out the favourites.
Varane is aware of how difficult the match against City will be since they were beaten 1-2 by them at the Bernabeu in the first leg. "It will be difficult, they are a very good team. We expect it to be hard fought," he said.
But he sees his Real Madrid side as strong team: "We have strung together a series of victories and we have gained confidence ahead of the Man City match. We have the experience of top matches. That allows us to maybe be a bit more relaxed, but always with the same determination."
"We are going to prepare ourselves, we'll do everything possible to be ready and take advantage of our opportunities to the maximum, as we've always done. We are Real Madrid, we always want to win," Varane continued.
Varane singled out Benzema, who is in great form. "He's at the top of his game. We're very happy with him. He's our leader in attack and that gives us a lot," he said.
Lastly, he thanked Zidane for the confidence he puts in him for every match. "He urged me to take risks, to be another weapon for Real Madrid. It's important to have the backing of your coach," he concluded.
