With La Liga El Clasico over the weekend at the Camp Nou, Los Blancos’ UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg fixture has lost some of its meaning.
Under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid are on course to achieve their end of season objectives in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
The Spanish giants take on the mighty Bayern Munich in the double header semi-finals, the first leg scheduled in midweek on April 17, with the second meeting given a date of April 25; hence putting a La Liga fixture with Barcelona in between Madrid’s European
adventures.
With the campaign at that point where any mistake can make or break their season, the crunch encounters have even greater importance.
However, if anything can be gauged from the noises in media, Los Blancos are focused on their trip to Catalonia.
Reflecting on the situation, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 came out in the open and stressed that Real Madrid cannot lose sight of what lies before them. He stated that the players cannot think about title success right now and should approach one game after the other.
Continuing on the topic, Ramos praised Bayern for the quality of individuals they possess, including the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929.
"We must not think about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 or the Spanish title."
"We are playing in the Champions League semi-final against Bayern. We are playing against a world-class team.”
"They have a lot of quality in their team and players like [Arjen] Robben or [Mario] Gomez who can make the difference."
The Spanish international also took out time to talk about Jose Mourinho, who he believes is a great coach.
Continuing with the praises, Ramos claimed that the players in the dressing room have improved over the course of two seasons under the Portuguese tactician, which is a great thing to oversee.
"Mourinho is a top coach," the versatile defender said. "We're happy to have him at Madrid. He has done so many new things; he has changed a lot of things.”
“Every player in the team has become better over the last two years.”
The former Sevilla right-back added that he hopes Madrid can return to the Bernabeu with a victory on their back to show for their European adventures.
