Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira will come face-to-face with Real Madrid s fans once more in Saturday s Champions League final – and he does not miss them one bit.
The Germany World Cup winner joined Juve on a free-transfer in June 2015 after five years at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Injury often hindered Khedira s progress in the Spanish capital and, although he has nothing but praise for Madrid s coaching staff, he felt he was under-valued on the terraces.
In Madrid, I was appreciated by my coaches and 100 per cent fair, but I did not have this recognition in public, he told Kicker.
If I did 10 good games, that was self-evident. If the 11th was not so good, it was asked whether or not I was good enough for the club.
Khedira is expected to start at the Principality Stadium, having formed an impressive midfield alliance alongside Miralem Pjanic on the way to retaining Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
In Cardiff, to show the world who we are
