"We did not play well in Paris, and we believe we will represent a good game tomorrow," said Ancelotti ahead of the game. "Real at its peak can face PSG at its peak. Benzema is back to being who he was before the injury. "
One who is in great doubt for the game despite being included in the squad is midfielder Tony Cross, who was also absent in the last league game against Sociedad.
"A player who is not 100% will not be able to play," said Ancelotti.
As is well known, Kasmiro will also be absent from the link-up due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Regarding Killian Ambape, who is due to be fit despite being injured in training on Monday, the Italian coach said "I hope there will be no injuries, we will prepare for the game as Ambape is fit. Our plan is not only focused on Ambape but also Messi, Neymar and the other players".

Team contact Luca Modric also referred to Ambape: "We did not talk about his injury, hope he will be fit. I want to play with him in our team and see what happens. It is difficult for us to talk about it because then other teams get angry."
While Real expect that Ambape will be received with applause because "at the Bernabeu there is always cheering for great players", the Croatian treated the one who deserves a warm welcome for what he has achieved at the club, Sergio Ramos.
"I talk to him almost every day, it would be nice to see him again. The Bernabeu should accept him with love because he is a club legend. Without hurting anyone, I think he is the greatest defensive player he has ever been to Real."
The Spanish stopper, who spent 16 seasons at Real, was not included in the PSG squad due to injury, but he joined his teammates on a trip to Madrid.

After landing in Madrid, ex-Barcelona Neymar showed up for the press conference ahead of the game on a pitch he has known well since his days in the Spanish league: "I have many good memories from the Bernabeu, I conquered and cooked here. Playing here is special, not only for me, but also for Lionel Messi."
In the first game, Neymar returned from an injury that sidelined him for two and a half months: "The injury sidelined me for longer than I thought, it was a serious injury, but now I am one hundred percent physically and mentally ready to help the team. It is a game players want to take part in Because these are moments that will not come back. "
"It will not be easy because Real Madrid has a lot of quality players. Casimiro (yellowed) is the best player in his position, it is better for us that he does not play. In games between Real and PSG it is always 50-50, there is no favorite. We have "0: 1 advantage from the first game, but you have to think about winning and playing better than in Paris."
Following the war between Russia and Ukraine, the Champions League final has been moved from St. Petersburg to the Stade de France, and the French capital uses it as another source of motivation: "We have a great, quality squad. The final is in Paris and it is wonderful for us. ".

Coach Mauricio Pochettino also prepared for the game against the factory-winning champion: "The media in Madrid are talking about immigration. We respect them, it is no coincidence that they won 13 European Cups but we are not afraid."
On Killian Ambape, who has long been mentioned as a candidate to sign for Real Madrid this summer, the Argentine said: "He is mature despite his young age, does not doubt him. He will not change the way he plays because of the talk that is around him."
Regarding the Frenchman's injury, which caused great pressure in the French capital, Pochettino said: "Ambape is fine. When he received the blow he cried out in pain, but he managed to walk two hours later."
Gianluigi Donaroma may start in place of Kaylor Navas in the squad, and Pochettino referred to the never-ending battle for a place between the posts: "We have two world-class goalkeepers. There are always disappointments and criticisms, but I'm happy with the way we have handled the situation so far."
