support.
“If we played like the way we played against Dynamo, we will hardly survive against Real Madrid. But you cannot rule us out for now before the game, because the chances are 50/50 at the moment. Let’s see what happens on the pitch
but we will try to battle against the Spanish outfit.” The UEFA Cup winner was quoted as saying.
