The Blancos midfielder believes his side are in a good
position to secure la Decima this term, but is aware that the first hurdle will
be difficult to overcome.
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."
Real will lock horns with Fatih Terim's men on Tuesday at
the Turk Telekom Arena.
