Head coach Bibiano Fernandes said, "The boys are really motivated to work harder after the last few matches, especially after the result against Real Madrid, has been very positive."

India's game against Getafe U-18s will be a challenging one for the boys, especially in the physical aspect.

"Of course, no game is easy at this level, and Getafe U-18s are a very good side. They are technically sound, and I believe they are also physically more imposing than us," Fernandes said.

"But we also have our strong points, and will play accordingly."
