We watched one or two matches of Real Madrid - with Osasuna and Atlético, as well as various fragments of the games. We already know the strengths and weaknesses of this team.
Luka Modric? This is the heart of Real Madrid. This is a strong football player, and a lot depends on him in the opponent's game. I think Modric and other Real Madrid players are strong both individually and as a team. We need to prepare, but whether we will succeed is another question.
As for our team, I think that the result shown by Shakhtar in the previous Champions League matches against RB Leipzig (3:2) and Celtic (1:1) was not an accident, but became a pattern and a consequence of our work and team spirit. If there were moments where we were lucky, then the strongest are lucky. If the team wants to achieve results, then it must come out charged only for the result and for victory, ”said Mudryk.
