“If you’re going to get eliminated, you cannot leave without dying in the pitch. On Tuesday I’m sure the players are gonna give their everything. If we’re eliminated by BVB, we’re gonna make them suffer. We’re gonna die in the pitch.” -Josè Mourinho

The midfielder believes that “When you dress up, it says a lot about yourself.” He confesses himself as very ”classic” for clothes, but without that stale point. ”I like the details and look at what I wear. I love watches and shoes, but in any case I am a fashion victim”
- José Mourinho: “I see his future in Madrid. I don’t think that an intelligent player when he’s in Madrid, wants to move. I think he’s an in intelligent boy… he is for sure because I know him well now.” […] “I see him as a better player. I think last year was a year of adaptation, a new reality not an easy reality. And this season should already be a season for an evolution on his game—to feel more freedom, to feel more confident and to express himself in a different way.”
- Xabi Alonso: “As soon as Sami arrived here, we could see that he was willing to adapt and to get to know each other quite well. We both play in the same position, so it was important to have a good understanding between each other. He’s young but at the same time very mature, very serious, and he’s a great guy. You can see that everything he does he wants to do it with great professionalism, with a great attitude. He gives the best that he has in each game and that’s the most important. We have a great relationship.”
- Mesut Özil: “Sami Khedira is a very important player, for me personally as well as within the team. I have known for years. He is really a friend of mine. He is like a brother to me. On the pitch, he has proved how valuable he is even for one of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid. For me it is important to play with him for the same club. He supports me a lot, I support him a lot. I am very happy to play together with him at Real Madrid.”
- Cristiano Ronaldo: “For me he is one of the most professional players in the club. He’s a great guy, a calm guy. He doesn’t joke a lot but when he jokes, he’s a very funny guy. We like him a lot, me and all the players. I think he’s great for Madrid; he’s a fantastic player.”
Injury update: Xabi Alonso reportedly left the Bernabéu wearing a neck brace. He was replaced at the half after Celta’s De Lucas fell awkwardly on top of his neck. He may be a serious doubt against Osasuna.
