Real Madrid attacker Isco says his club are favourites to clinch the Champions League title this season.
Los Blancos were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals of the tournament last term, but the youngster is confident that the club are in a better postition to secure the long-awaited Decima this time around.
Real Madrid are favourites for the Champions League trophy," the 21-year-old told a press conference.
It shouldn't become an obsession, but we will give everything for la Decima.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti recently faced criticism for letting Mesut Ozil leave for Arsenal, but Isco is convinced the club's new signings easily make up for the loss of the valuable assist creator.
After Mesut Ozil's departure, not much has changed. Now we have Gareth Bale and we are tyring to help him.
"With new additions this summer, we can clinch the title this season."
The former Malaga man then assured his side are aware of the atmosphere that will await them in Istanbul and singled out Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba as possible threats.
Galatasaray have important players and some passionate fans. We are aware of that. We will do our best and try to win this match.
I know Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba well. We will do everything we can to stop them. We prepared well for this encounter.
