"I'm really proud of this number. I dreamed of playing for Real Madrid as a kid, and making my 300 appearances makes me proud."
"Juventus are a dangerous team. They don't come from a great moment, but we know they are dangerous in attack and defence. It will be tough, but we'll need intensity."
"The preparation is the same. Good preparation, good training and good rest."
"We want to be ready from a tactical point of view. When the Bernabeu pushes us, everything becomes easier for us. It gives us energy to keep fighting."
Real Madrid lead the Champions League this season for shots (48) and shots on target (27), with 15 on target vs Marseille and 12 vs Kairat Almaty. The club could become the fourth side since 2003-04 to record 10+ shots on target in three consecutive games, matching previous Madrid runs and Bayern Munich. Juventus have won one of their last 11 away Champions League matches and four of their last five away games ended in draws. Madrid have faced Juventus in three of the last four Champions League campaigns, progressing to win the competition in three of those seasons. Thibaut Courtois will make his 300th appearance for Real Madrid and emphasises preparation, intensity and home support as key factors.
