San Lorenzo players fully understand they are taking on “the best team in the world,” as Marcelo Tinelli, the vice-president of the club, put it in an article on goal.com.
Yet, the man believe his team is capable of springing a surprise in Morocco’s Marrakesh against the favorites.
“This is the story of a billionaire team against a lowly one,” the man said.
“Madrid are the best in the world.
“But remember that the story was the same at the World Cup when Argentina faced Iran.
“If [Argentina captain and match-winner] Messi hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t have won.
“That’s the beauty of football. And I think we are going to play a good match against Real Madrid.
“My wish is to win the World Club Cup against Real Madrid. I do not ask more.”
