The legendary football coach Fabio Capello was able to take Milan to the top of Europe in the 1994 final against Johan Cruyff's Barcelona in Athens. In an interview with 'Marca', the Italian spoke about the victory over the 'Cules' and his time at Real Madrid.
"They arrived calmly, taking photos with the trophy, and we prepared it very well," said the former Madrid, Juventus and Milan coach.
As for his analysis of the match, Capello said: "We knew the problems they had, where they were not strong and we prepared the final tactically very well. Tactics is an important thing, that's why the Italians are masters at it. They prepare matches very well, they study their opponents, where they are strong and where they are weak. That's why we held on to some results," he added.
Finally, as a former Madrid coach, Capello, who has never won the Champions League with Real Madrid, said: "Madrid have quality, strength and luck, which is a very important aspect in football. Without luck, when you shoot at goal the difference can be post and out or post and goal. I played in three Champions League finals and in one of them we had seven chances to score, with Van Basten, and we lost 1-0 against Marseille", he concluded.
