For the first time in history, an Andalucían team could reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.  To do this, Málaga need to overcome their 1-0 defeat in the first leg at the Do Dragao.  The players are ready…are you?
 
Málaga are determined to defend their city, province and the whole of Andalucia in the biggest competition in Europe.  Manuel Pellegrini’s men face the last-16 second leg tie on Wednesday with the unyielding support of their fans.  Three members of the first team - Julio Baptista, Jesús Gámez and Willy Caballero – have returned to medieval times to make the video, in collaboration with the Andalucían Tourist Board, showing how they’re preparing for this historic encounter.
 
Málaga Club de Fútbol is about to face the most important match in the Club’s history, and the team, as well as the whole of Andalucía, will be the central focus of over 40 million football fans.
 

MAKING OF THE VIDEO
 
Andalucía, Málaga…La Rosaleda Stadium.  The story begins in this magical setting.  Three Blue and Whites’ players are ready for the clash with FC Porto.  Each one prepares their ‘armour’ for the historic match, in which they could reach the quarter-finals and be ranked amongst the eight best teams in Europe.   
 
Jesús Gámez is in charge of flying the Málaga colours to defend the team in the last-16 second leg clash.
 
Goalkeeper Willy Caballero, as the last Málaga defender on the pitch, prepares his Blue and Whites’ shield, to protect the team from the rival.
 
Finally, Julio Baptista.  The Brazilian-born player is a relentless warrior.  The ‘Beast’ is using fire to forge the destiny of the team and become a legend.
 
The day every ‘Malaguista’ has been waiting for is nearly here.  On Wednesday, at 8:45 p.m., Málaga CF and the fans will have the chance to see the Blue and Whites amongst the European football elite, something that no other Andalucían team has ever done before.  The team is ready...are you?
