Former Spurs boss expects tough test
Juande Ramos is not happy that Real Madrid were paired against Liverpool in the first knock-out round of the UEFA Champions League in Switzerland on Friday.
Los Merengues' coach had hoped to avoid English opposition, but did feel that Rafa Benítez would also not be satisfied.
It will be an even contest though as Ramos has Premier League experience from his time at Tottenham, while Benitez knows Madrid as he was a coach there before.
"We have not liked the draw that we have been given and I suppose that they will not have either," Ramos told reporters.
"Rafa Benitez knows Real Madrid very well and I also know Liverpool and Benítez well from my time in England."
Although he is not pleased with the draw, Ramos admitted that while Liverpool are a strong side Madrid should not be worried about playing any team in particular.
"They are a complete and difficult team and have some very good players," he continued. "But Real Madrid cannot fear anyone and we have the same chances as them to go through."
