Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid coach, before the Champions League match against Benfica, said that the team will take the matches one by one and try to win the competition.

"We know the high expectations we face. The goal is to win. Our philosophy is to play very good football. You have to know what to do every minute. We always think about winning. The objective is to win the Champions League, but there is nothing to take revenge against Benfica. If I invite Mourinho, it will be for lunch. We have a great relationship. I always wish him the best. My goal is to eliminate Benfica and then let Benfica win everything. Benfica has improved in terms of individual performance, but their spirit will be similar to what it was three weeks ago, because their leader shows them the way. A team that will be very competitive and intense.

"Benfica didn't surprise me at all, because I know how all of Jose's teams are. It would be the same if he played with the youth team. It's a new match, not at all like the one three weeks ago. It was analyzed and that's it. We've been strong before. That's the goal for every coach. You have to work hard to do things well. We're doing things well overall, because it's a team effort involving ten players. The players welcomed me very well and we're working very well day after day with a common goal: to win. I can't ask for more from them than what they've shown so far," he said.
