The two matches that Barcelona and Real Madrid will play will be a measure of their “will to win.” The team’s will is the power to choose and implement actions suitables to the achievement of certain purposes. Only at the end of the two matches we will know who won but since the beginning we can know who fights to win. For teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona the attitude with which they will begin the game will be relevant, opponents will never have the perception that it will be easy to go to the Champions League final. That’s why they should enter into the field with the will to win despite the very negative result of the first match. This is the Everest they have to climb: play to the best of their abilities and win, knowing that it would be much easier to play a poor game in terms of pride and will and not qualify. These challenges are almost impossible as it is to climb Everest without oxygen, but someone did it.

It may seem strange that it could happen but it happens more often than one might imagine. It was probably the case of Arianna Errigo in the fencing final, for Scozzoli in swimming and Occhiuzzi in saber. The athlete may not be ready for this final test, there has been exhausted for that goal and he/she does not have any more. These athletes would be useful to a sports psychologist who helped them find their mental energy required to fight at their best and to be determined to win. My personal memory goes back to when an athlete before the final Olympic in shooting, which was entered in the top six, told me he had nausea, which had no more energy and did not know what to do. My response was to remind him in a few minutes all he had done in previous years, the sacrifices to achieve that goal and that was the moment to go and do what he knew. He did it and won the silver meda.
