“I think Ney is ready to start,” Marquinhos said. “Nobody wants to be on the bench on a match like this, at the Bernabeu.

“He is a player who takes his responsibilities, especially in this kind of match. He takes the ball to be aggressive and decisive.

“In matches like this one, it’s good to have him with you. He’s a different person on the team and I think he’s going to play a good game.

“Keylor is an experienced goalkeeper who has won important titles.

“In Paris, he has already shown that he is a high-level goalkeeper. It is important for a team to have a goalkeeper who gives us serenity and confidence. He is doing that.”
