<p class="title">The possibility of reaching a third straight Champions League final is "galvanising" Real Madrid for their semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich, Zinedine Zidane told a press conference on Monday.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"It's an extra motivation," the Real Madrid coach said. "What drives this club is to try to do the maximum, all of us, to regret nothing," he said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Real is at home on Tuesday and leads 2-1 after the away leg.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"If we execute well with desire and motivation we have a great chance of reaching our objective."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Sergio Ramos, the Real captain, added that the chance to play in a third final was "reward for all our work, our perseverance".</p>.<p class="bodytext">"We are making seem easy what is practically impossible. No one has won two in a row," he said, which hasn't happened since 1990, before the competition was enlarged switched a to a group format. "What motivates us, is to keep breaking records and winning titles.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"One of the strengths of Real is that opponents are not all the same and we study them carefully to learn how to hurt them," Ramos explained.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"At 1-1 in the first leg, Bayern had to chase a victory and we knew we could do damage on the counter-attack. We would have liked to score more, but the result was good. The scenario tomorrow is very similar, the other team must overcome a bad result and we will try to exploit that. I hope we stay committed in defence."</p>.<p class="bodytext">While Ramos, the defender, emphasised defence, his boss talked of attack.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"The key is to try to win the match," Zidane said. "Not to retreat and not to do anything stupid. We must try to score quickly.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Bayern will not be worried," he said. "They will come to play without inhibitions. We must be ready."</p>.<p class="bodytext">While Real are still chasing the Champions League, their chief Spanish rival, Barcelona, completed the Spanish domestic double on Sunday, clinching the league title to go with their cup victory.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Sergio Ramos and Zidane were asked which achievement was greater.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Barcelona deserved to be a champion, we have to congratulate them, nothing more," said Zidane. "We have not won anything yet, they have won two trophies and have had a great season. We do not minimise what they have done, but what interests us is what we're going to do."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Ramos could not resist a dig. "Barca have done the double and that's a good year for them," he said. "But winning the Champions League, that's worth two titles, maybe more."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Against Leganes on Saturday, Zidane coached his 200th match (57 with Real's reserves and 143 in charge of the club). He was asked how has he improved.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Of course I have a little more experience, but the experience of big moments, because I experienced them last year," he said. "There are tons of coaches more competent than I am. But I have experience of being there and of the changing room."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Ramos said he had no choice but to sound as if he was giving in to flattery.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"The results speak for themselves," he said. "He is a great coach, we are proud that he is captaining this ship."</p>
