Raúl: Juve One Of The Best

Ahead of Real Madrid’s mouth watering tussle with Juventus in the Champions League, Los Blancos captain Raúl has expressed his admiration for the Serie A giants.

The Spanish champions will go head to head with their fierce European nemesis on Tuesday and while there’s never any love lost between the two on the pitch, there’s never any shortage of respect and admiration off it.

Real Madrid captain and icon, Raúl González Blanco is the latest to heap praise on the Bianconeri, despite the club having to experience a nightmarish past few years due to the Calciopoli scandal and also having to endure a severe slump at present.

“First of all, it will be special because it’s the Champions League and because we are facing one of the greatest clubs in Europe and the world,” the ‘Number 7’ said during the pre-match interviews.

“I believe that it will be a great spectacle and both teams will be fighting it out for a win,” he added.

The 31 year old forward does not believe that the Juve players will be affected much by their current crisis.

“They are not going through a good spell at the moment, but I believe in big games like these, everyone wants to play at their best.

“They have a great team and it will be very difficult to win here, but we enter the match after our fantastic victory at the Calderón and we hope we can repeat that,” he concluded.
