We have taken a lot of experiences out of the Lisbon game. We know how we have to play against Real Madrid and ahead of the game we are positive,” Godin added.
“We will put in a very tactical and physical game, and I think it will be decided by very little details. The team arrive in a very good physical condition for the final.
“We will compete at 150%. We know people say we are favourites after we eliminated Barca and Bayern [Munich], but a game against Madrid is always 50/50.”

Meanwhile, former Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil has admitted that unhappy with Arsenal’s season, as they fail to win the Premier League.
“I think we dropped a lot of points that we shouldn’t have dropped against smaller teams and I think that was the point in the season where as a team we weren’t strong enough to take just a point and go ahead,” Ozil told Sport360.
“Especially after the Barcelona game we lost some points. That was a time when we weren’t good enough to just take points and go.
“It’s a long season and a lot of things must go right. One of the things is players getting injured which is one factor definitely.
“On the other hand we just have to focus more and with stronger players maybe coming in be competitive for next season and we will see where we end up at the end.”
“I think for us in the end it was important to qualify directly for the Champions League which is the second or third place,” he added.
“To be second in the last game of the season and be on top of Tottenham was also good for us and our fans. It was a good finish to the season.”
