The Argentine has insisted that Los Blancos are in a great run of form, heading into Old Trafford for what will be the game of the season for Mourinho.
A special type of feeling comes to the mind of the football lovers when one sees the prospect of two European heavy weights coming head to head and locking horns in arguably the most prestigious competition that the world of club football could offer.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are certainly two of the most followed clubs across the entire globe and the draw of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 could not have been any nicer to the fans that were looking forward for the Champaign occasion in
the tournament.
As associations go with the statures of the two clubs, the managerial world could not have offered a better spectacle than the Mourinho vs. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson match-up. The two tacticians are no doubt the best that the game has seen.
With masterminds behind the army, the occasions was sure to lighten up and so it happened in Madrid, the final score-line flashing across the Bernabeu read 1-1, a numerical analysis that only poises the tie perfectly for the return leg at Old Trafford, the
home of the kings of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, Manchester United.
The men in white travel to United on the night of 5th of March, 2013 and things on the domestic front have certainly been going as wished for.
A masterful display at Camp Nou knocked out Barcelona from the Copa del Rey and with the recent League win over the Catalan rivals today, arguably with a second tier team, Real’s confidence is certainly sky-high.
The former Argentine international also believes the same and insists that the match at Old Trafford has come at the perfect time.
"After the match at Camp Nou, Real Madrid are brimming with confidence ahead of the biggest game of the year, which comes at Old Trafford against Manchester United," Valdano told Cadena Ser.
"Nothing matters more than winning the Champions League, the club's 10th European Cup.”
"The match at Old Trafford will be much more tactical than the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 game. “
"Against Real Madrid, the home fans will be understanding if [Sir Alex] Ferguson decides to set up his team to play conservatively, and I think that will be the case."
The second leg is perfectly set up to enlighten the occasion as United hold the slender advantage of scoring at Bernabeu, what could prove to be the all important away goal.
