The veteran shot stopper has asserted that there is nothing more important to his side than bringing home the 10th European title in the upcoming season.
Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 has expressed that Los Blancos are hoping to triumph over the UEFA Champions League, as it is a trophy which has evaded the Spanish giants in the last 11 seasons.
It is quite understandable to see that Los Vikingos have set their sights on achieving the silverware in Europe’s most prestigious club tournament. The Whites may have secured their 32nd Spanish La Liga title, however, the last time they were
successful in Europe was back in 2002.
It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s Los Galacticos who reigned supreme over the continent. A victory inspired by an extraordinary goal from the legendary Zinedine Zidane gave the Santiago Bernabeu their 9th European title.
Zizou’s volley was nothing short of magical, and the goal is still considered to be one of the best goals in the history of the coveted competition.
However, since then Los Merengues have merely struggled to achieve the same amount of success. Despite reaching the last four of the Champions League on several occasions, the footballing juggernauts have found it exceedingly difficult to book a place in
the final. To their misfortune, Madrid have not progressed in the tournament further than the semi-finals.
Nevertheless, things appear to be different this time around and under the management of Jose Mourinho, the newly crowned champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are convinced that they can finally achieve success in the esteemed contest.
According to the club’s official website, Casillas was quoted as saying:
"The last two years, we have reached the semi-finals. We are very close and it is one of our major objectives. We will try, but there are many teams that will fight for the Champions League. This is what we all want at Real Madrid, but we know it will be
difficult.”
"We are much better than we were two seasons ago and what we aim to do is to do better than last season."
Real Madrid will begin their new season on August 18, as they take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 on home soil.
