Madrid in 'good momentum' ahead of Man City clash, claims Vazquez

Real Madrid's Lucas Vazquez showed the winning mentality with which his team will visit City in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Etihad Stadium, after staying strong as La Liga leaders with their 1-0 win at Mallorca.

"We're very good, we're in good momentum. We are having a good final stretch of the season and the team is at a great level both collectively and individually. Almost all the players are performing wonderfully and we go into Wednesday with a great desire to win the game, to get through the quarters and reach the semi-finals. We also want to win the Champions League," he told the club's media.

Lucas highlighted the team's work in the 1-0 win at Son Moix, the adaptation to what the game required and, above all, the importance of not having conceded a goal.

"There are many things to highlight. It was a very complicated game in which the team needed to play a different kind of football, with more fight than in other games. The team did a great job and the victory is more than deserved," he said.

"The solidity is what makes us the leaders. The team is having a great season. La Liga is the competition of consistency and the team is showing that it is at a very good level. We knew the importance of a clean sheet. It's a very important victory for this league," he added.
