Raul vows Real will stun Liverpool

Real Madrid captain Raul has warned Liverpool that the Spanish club are confident of claiming a Champions League second leg victory at Anfield on Tuesday.

Raul and company travel to England for the last 16 clash trailing 1-0 after Yossi Benayoun’s winner for Liverpool at the Bernabeu two weeks ago.

Although Liverpool are now favourites to go through thanks to that priceless away goal, Raul insists Juande Ramos’s team have more than enough quality to recover the deficit and reach the quarter-finals.

“We have a clear idea of what we have to do – score twice,” Raul said in The Times on Monday.

“The other day we were hit strongly by the defeat (against Liverpool), but we know we are going to have our chances and we are not going to give up.

“We are capable of beating Liverpool at Anfield. Since the arrival of Juande Ramos we are more disciplined.

“At the beginning of the season we had a lot of problems – we were scoring goals, but letting them in as well and that cost us a lot of points. We are now in good shape, above all physically and mentally.”
