Bafetimbi Gomis thinks http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 can beat Real Madrid FC in the UEFA Champions League 
Bafetimbi Gomis believes that his side, Olympique Lyon, can still win the tie against Real Madrid FC and make it through to the next round despite the first leg match ending in a 1 – 1 stalemate. Les Gones will travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 to play the return leg
at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 16 March.
Gomis said, “It is a difficult, but a good result because it gives us a chance during the return leg, especially after we conceded a goal. We showed a lot of character like we did against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 last season. We have done it again late in the game,
but this time, it also gives us a chance in the return leg where there will be plenty of excitement at the Bernabeu. The team showed its true potential”.
Los Blancos manager, Jose Mourinho, was disappointed with the match ending in a stalemate, as his side failed to find the back of the net on various occasions. Despite the match ending in a draw, Mourinho’s men will be the favourites to go through
to the quarterfinals of the Europe’s most prestigious competition, as the return leg will be played in front of their home crowd.
Real Madrid defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, is optimistic about going through to the next round, as his side has not passed through the first knock out stage for the last six seasons. Ramos said, “This is a positive result for us, but we could have sealed the
tie. We had three very clear chances on goal. This good result gives us the advantage in the second leg. We must always be optimistic”.
Los Merengues have every right to be optimistic about going through to the next phase of the competition, as they will be taking a precious away goal to play the return leg at Bernabeu. Mourinho will be looking to claim a good result in their encounter
against Les Gones next month and shatter the six season’s curse of being knocked out in the Round of 16.
On the other hand, OL striker still believes that his side can knock out the La Liga giants, as his side has an exceptional record against Los Blancos. Gomis will be hoping that his goal scoring form remains intact and he could lead his side to victory
at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It will be a classic encounter between the two sides next month, as both sides are optimistic to reach the quarterfinals of the Europe’s top football competition. Les Gones have a good record against Los Blancos that will certainly boost their morale.
However, it will be a tough task to beat Los Merengues, who have remained unbeaten in front of their home crowd this season.
