Calendar of FC Barcelona

Real Madrid is coming off an important victory in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Chelsea with a 1-3 win at Stamford Bridge and will seek to enter their name in the Champions League semi-finals for the second consecutive year precisely against the team that left them away in the previous edition, in which they ended up lifting the trophy. Now, they could have their revenge against the 'blues'.

In statements to the media, Carlos Henrique Casemiro has stated that he expects a great atmosphere from the Santiago Bernabéu fans, who will have to push their players to achieve the result that will allow them to be among the four best teams on the continent: " I hope people give us goosebumps tomorrow. We need them."

However, he has warned that some gestures on the part of the merengue fans have upset him, especially after having charged again against one of his own footballers: "When a player is called, we are all called. I cannot agree. I didn't like it, because Bale is historic. When a player like that is whistled, the history of this club is whistled."

Also, the Brazilian has been prudent and knows that despite the advantage with which they arrive at the second leg nothing is decided, especially if it comes to facing a team like Chelsea: "We can't trust anything, no matter how much we said Tuchel. He is the current champion. We need the fans. The key to everything is the shield, winning when nobody believes it. As they say: until the end, let's go Real".

Casemiro praises Benzema

The midfielder was satisfied with the team's performance, especially in the case of Karim Benzema who is experiencing a great goalscoring moment: "Only the goals have changed, he has taken an incredible step. Everything else remains the same. We see everything he does every day. It's the history of this club. It's an honor to have him by our side. He's the most important player we have right now".
