Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric shared his expectations for the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League with Liverpool
"I'm surprised that Liverpool are so far from first place in the Premier League. However, for now, they can say the same about us. Given their composition, they can improve their situation at any time. I hope that their rise will not take place during our confrontation.
The match between "Real" and "Liverpool" is one of the best shows in the world of football. It's a shame that the draw brought us together at a fairly early stage of the playoffs. Maybe these are two equal teams, but it seems to me that we are still the favorites. We are going to Anfield to win," Modric was quoted as saying by The Mirror.
