Real: We’ll beat Juventus
Posted by Alex | Football Italia
Real Madrid are in confident mood ahead of Wednesday’s Champions’ League trip to Juventus.
The Spaniards go into the game with a 1-0 advantage and they are convinced that they will qualify for the last eight.
"Real are easily a stronger side than Juventus," announced club captain Raul Gonzalez Blanco.
"Quality will be the decisive factor and we have more of it in our side," continued the Spanish striker.
"I expect Juventus to be very aggressive, to put us under pressure in a bid to not let us keep hold of the ball.
"That is because (Juventus boss Fabio) Capello knows that if we take control in midfield, then we will create many problems."
Real took a 2-1 advantage to Turin two years, but ended up losing the semi-final clash after a 3-1 defeat in Italy.
But former Inter full-back Roberto Carlos is adamant that there will be no repeat tomorrow night.
"Juventus should be warned that Ronaldo will score past them," predicted the South American.
"Ronaldo is in great form again and he’ll definitely hit the target. We aren’t going there with the intention of playing for a draw."
