""We have little time," De Zerbi said of his squad's preparations, via L'Equipe. "We have to go there with humility. "Real Madrid aren't just anyone. But [we] also [travel] with ambition. The club has a history in this competition. "Our shirt carries a lot of weight in the Champions League. The club, the city, the public impose ambition on us.""
""I talk to [reserve team manager Alvaro] Arbeloa and [their players] often come up with us, but we also have players in the team who can fill that position, such as [Raul] Asencio, David [Alaba], Aurelien, and even [left-back] Alvaro [Carreras] could play. "It's a shame about Rudiger. I don't know why I said [he was fine], then he got injured in training. I'll have to stop talking.""
Roberto De Zerbi urged humility and ambition as Marseille prepare to face Real Madrid, noting the club's Champions League history and the weight of the shirt. Paris Saint-Germain visit Marseille on Sunday, making the week particularly important. Real Madrid could be without Antonio Rüdiger for much of the year with a quad injury, while Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham are also out. Xabi Alonso said academy players are monitored closely and named squad options including Raul Asencio, David Alaba, Aurelien and Alvaro Carreras. Marseille's Nayef Aguerd is absent under concussion protocols; Amine Gouiri is doubtful with a shoulder issue and Amine Harit has joined Istanbul Basaksehir on loan.
