The former Brazilian international expects Real Madrid to reach
at least the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The veteran defender believes that Los Blancos should have little difficulty in making it to the last four of the prestigious tournament.
The Spanish giants have performed remarkably this season and have been tipped as favourites to win the Spanish La Liga and the Champions League.
With a tremendous run in La Liga and outstanding form in Europe, Los Merengues have emerged as a serious force during this season.
With most of the silverware going Barcelona’s way, several observers believed that the glory days of the nine-time European Cup winners were over. However, the Spanish giants appear to be on their way to achieving the splendour of the ‘Galacticos’ era under
Portuguese mentor, Jose Mourinho.
Prior to the start of this season, Pep Guardiola’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 had established itself as one of the greatest teams in the history of the game. With three consecutive La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League triumphs in three years, Barca have, without
a doubt, been the team to beat in club football.
However, as the current season stands, Real Madrid are in a commanding position to win the Spanish crown and are healthy contenders to win the Champions League as well. Hence, a significant damage has been done to La Blaugrana’s supremacy.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317 is confident that the Santiago Bernabeu outfit will win the Liga BBVA this season. According to Madrid’s official website, the veteran defender quoted:
"Madrid are doing very well in La Liga and they have a great chance to reach the semis in the Champions League. I think they will defeat CSKA Moscow, whom I know well, because of the home advantage in the return leg. Will the team celebrate in Cibeles this
year? Let's wait, but I'm sure of it."
Real Madrid will face CSKA Moscow as their next opponents in the knock-out stages of the Champions League and are favourites to qualify for the quarter-finals.
