Real Madrid defender Pepe has admitted he wants to win all titles this season. “This is a very special year, because I can win both the Champions League and the World Cup. I hope everything turns out well. We know it’s very complicated, but we will leave everything on the pitch,” he said.
The Portuguese believes he can have a historic season: “We’ve won the Copa del Rey in a great final and now I want more titles. We don’t renounce to win La Liga. We’ll try to earn the five victories and hope for Atletico Madrid to end up dropping points.”
When asked about the match against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League, Pepe confessed the 1-0 victory “felt like a short result.” “It was a victory, we didn’t concede any goals, but I believe we had enough chances to have scored more goals. In Munich, we’ll play strong, very concentrated and eager to earn a spot in the final in Lisbon. Playing a Champions League final in Portugal would be very special,” he added.
Pepe also spoke about next summer’s Brazil’s World Cup: “It’s a very important tournament for my country and for me. It’s always an honour to wear Portugal’s shirt and the World Cup is a very special event. We hope to have a good performance and go as far as possible,” he concluded.
