The Champions League season kicks off this coming Tuesday and the nine-time European winners, Real Madrid, travel to Switzerland to play FC Zurich.
Real Madrid poised to clinch victory
A trip to Switzerland doesn’t automatically suggest a good start for Los Blancos in the upcoming European campaign.
Such away encounters could prove to be very tricky and Manuel Pellegrini will certainly be alerted by the obstacles that Zurich could pose on Tuesday.
The Argentine manager will certainly line up all a strong squad for the encounter, which means that Real Madrid’s big summer signings might all feature as starters if they are made available (in terms of fitness).
The eyes of the public will be on Brazil’s superstar Kaka, and on Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo to perform. The duo is expected to dazzle in Switzerland as they will be playing their first ever European match under a Madrid jersey.
For Real Madrid, the focus will not only be on getting the three points. It will also be on taking advantage of FC Zurich as much as possible and score a good number of goals to put the pressure on AC Milan who will be playing Marseille in France the same day.
Like two years ago in Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo could be playing a free role so as to give more options to Real Madrid. In addition to that, veteran skipper Raul and Benzema could be partnering upfront with the mission of breaking FC Zurich’s defense.
Alex Ferguson and his men enter this encounter with the defeat against Barcelona very much in the back of their minds.
