TEMPO.CO, Madrid - Real Madrid won all three matches in Champions League group qualifications, securing the last three points when defeating Juventus 2-1 in Santiago Bernabeu. Iker Casillas ensured Madrid to proceed to the Top 16.
The ousted captain Casillas told Sport Mediaset, as cited by Football Espana, that nine points out of three matches is a perfect achievement. Los Blancos now sits atop of Group B standings, five points away from Galatasaray in the second string. Madrid needs only six points to ensure its knockout round spot and group champion.
Yet from relief, Madrid will face the angered La Vechia Signora in Turin, as Juventus will likely wage a vengeful vendetta against the Spanish army. Cassilas again emphasized that Juventus is a strong and solid team, despite playing with ten men in last night's match. Therefore, he encouraged his Los Galacticos teammates to never low their guard in Italy.
