Dec 20, 2008 9:52:11 PM
After starring in Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Valencia, Arjen Robben was delighted at the performance of the team. Somewhat less pleasing to him was the fact that Liverpool are the opponents for the Spanish squad in the Champions League.
Speaking after the win over Valencia, Robben said, "We had to win. We needed these three points. The truth is that we began very well, pressuring them at every opportunity. Then after we scored we allowed them back in the game. We have to fix that."
Robben then talked about his excellent form, stating "Right now, I am happy, strong, and playing as I want to. I am glad that I can help the team."
Finally, Robben touched on Real Madrid's impending Champions League date with Liverpool, conceding that they are "the most difficult opponent."
He continued, "I would have preferred Manchester United. Liverpool work very hard, and in addition, they are a cup team, not a league team. In recent years, they have always been between the semi-finals and final of the Champions League."
