Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane has spoken of his disappointment at his minimal role in the club's run to the Champions League final.
The France international started five of Madrid's six group games, as well as the 2-0 win over Roma in the last-16 first leg.
But Varane's inclusion in the remaining games was limited to a sole appearance as a stoppage-time substitute in the 3-0 quarter-final second-leg win over Wolfsburg.
"Up until November I played practically every match," he told AFP. "It's also fair to say that I did make a few mistakes which I don't normally make.
"But looking back over the season as a whole, there's no point in focusing on that - it's outweighed by the positive things which happened.
"It's true that I would have liked to have been a part of the more decisive games at the end of the season - especially in the Champions League.
"After five years at Real Madrid, I hope I am able to overcome any kind of obstacle. I feel I'm at a crucial point in my career.
"I think all players need to feel as though they are developing - it's important to feel you are making progress and that's something I aim to do every day. I am aware of what qualities I have and what I am capable of."
"We are capable of beating anyone and competing with the best," he said. "We are going to prepare well for the tournament.
"We've got all we need to go into the Euros in good shape. Experiencing the Euros in France is a great motivation for us. And I hope I can give the best of myself."
