Former Arsenal, Villarreal and French national team have been able to talk to their good friend Zinedine Zidane after a match predicted by today soccer events in the Spanish capital, who was extremely confident that the `white` will remove Parisians, reveals Pirez to Mark `. Besides being close to Zuzu, Pires is also in excellent relationship with Arsene Wenger. The 200-year-old midfielder`s midfielder championship is of the opinion that London`s main goal is a triumph in the League of Europe. Here`s the whole interview with Robert Pires:
You said Real Madrid vs PSG is a clash with the importance of the final, given the shape of the `white` during the season. Were you surprised by the Spanish Grand Prix at the first meeting with Parisians?
- I was not surprised at all. This is the Champions League, which can not be compared to the Primera Liga or the King`s Cup.

At the beginning of each season the contenders for the title are seven and it is not easy at all. I have a close relationship with Wenger and his main goal is always to win the title of the championship. Sometimes you have a chance to do it, and sometimes not because it`s a complex task.
