"This is a team, this is a club, and we're all united. When you're the Real Madrid coach, you have to be prepared to face these situations calmly, with unity, and with the responsibility that I feel, and I'm looking forward for what's to come and that starts tomorrow. We know we can turn this around. From the anger that was there [on Sunday], which was normal, to the excitement that's being generated thinking about tomorrow."
"We're focused solely on City and the Champions League, and this can change quickly. Fortunately, in football, for better or for worse, the vision, the perspective, can shift quickly, and we're at that moment. We're mentally prepared to face everything that comes our way. At this moment, everyone is convinced that we can win tomorrow, there's no doubt. I think nobody has any doubts."
Xabi Alonso remains confident he can turn Real Madrid's form around and is focused on the Champions League tie with Manchester City tomorrow.

Alonso insists the squad is united, says he must adapt his methods to the club, and refused to rule out a future move to Liverpool.
