Madrid looks to show credentials vs. Milan
The Associated Press, Milan | Mon, 10/18/2010 5:40 PM
Real Madrid's hopes of winning the Champions League
this season will face an early test on Tuesday when Jose Mourinho's
side takes on AC Milan in Group G.
Madrid couldn't go into the game at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium
in better shape: undefeated and provisionally top of the Spanish
league thanks in large part to Cristiano Ronaldo's league-leading
six goals.
But Milan will take confidence from a 3-2 win in Madrid last
season thanks to a brace from striker Pato, who is on form.
Madrid, a record nine-time winner of Europe's top club
competition, won its first two games against Ajax and Auxerre to
lead with six points. Seven-time champion Milan has four points.
