“In the Champions League they are reaching the expected level and, even more, when many have said they weren't going to be able [to achieve that].
“They have struggled in La Liga, but in the Champions League they maintain that great level to which they have been accustomed and now they are clear favourites.”
If they are to win the Champions League, with the final in Kiev on May 26, Real Madrid will have to overcome stiff opposition.
