Sergio Ramos says AC Milan's Brazilian attackers don't scare Real Madrid
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos says that the La Liga giants are not afraid of AC Milan’s Brazilian attack force of Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (‘Ronaldinho’), Robson de Souza (‘Robinho’) and Alexandre Pato.
The Spanish club will take on the Serie A outfit in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, 3 November, at the San Siro. While the Brazilian duo will provide a potent threat to Madrid, Ramos insists that it is Milan’s experience and strength
as a team which concerned him most of all.
He told reporters that: "Robinho, Ronaldinho and the other players are the same as they all have great technique, but what worries me the most is Milan's group strength. They have experience and this worries me."
Both clubs have a storied history in Europe’s elite club competition. Madrid have been European champions nine times while Milan have been crowned kings of the continent on seven occasions.
'It will be a great game'
2010 FIFA World Cup winner Ramos added that: "It will be a great game in a unique stadium. It is a European derby. I know the Champions League well. Playing Milan is always a stimulating experience."
Madrid won the previous game between the teams at the Bernabeu 2-0 on 19 October. The home side dominated the match with early goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Oezil enough to shoot down the Rossoneri, who were led by on-loan Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
However, the sides were drawn together in last year’s group stage as well and Milan came out on top. The Italian giants won 3-2 at the Bernabeu before holding Madrid in the return game at the San Siro — which took place a year to the day before their latest
clash.
