It is said Ronaldo talked with his compatriot about the final with Liverpool.
And Don Balon say he told Gomes that he was confident Real would put them to the sword to win the trophy again.
Ronaldo’s decision to talk up Real’s chances to his Barcelona rival is more proof of Real’s relaxed mood.

Players from past and present seem to consider Liverpool to have no chance of taking the prize.
Among them was former Real boss Vincente Del Bosque, who said NO Liverpool player would get into Madrid’s team.
“Real Madrid have a great squad — they are the best club in Europe at the moment and must show that on Saturday,” Del Bosque said.
“I don’t see even one Liverpool player who would improve Real Madrid, not even [Mohamed] Salah.”
