Ruud van Nistelrooy Sees Real Madrid Favorite for Champions League 08-09

Real Madrid’s star forward Ruud van Nistelrooy has said that Real Madrid is favorite for this year’s Champions League trophy. However, to win Champions League, Nistelrooy thinks, Real Madrid players have to remain together and in good shape. The Dutch international has also admitted that Manchester United have the best team to defend the title this season. Real Madrid will face Italian giant Juventus on 21 October 2008 in a high-profile away encounter.

Regarding the upcoming trip to Italy, Ruud van Nistelrooy has said that Juventus is a tough opponent; no matter, whether Buffon or Trezeguet are available or not for the match. Real Madrid is leading the Group H with six points from two games, while Juventus is in the second place with four points from two outings. Nistelrooy was sent off during Real Madrid’s 2-1 derby win over Atletico Madrid recently. However, the Dutch forward will be available for the Champions League match against Juventus, because he was sent off in Spanish league match.
