Robben: We’ll have an uphill battle at Anfield

Real Madrid conceded a late 82nd-minute goal to Yossi Benayoun in last night’s Champions League round of 16 tussle with Liverpool.

“Both teams tried to settle for a 0-0 score. That was certainly our objective towards the end of the game. But in the end, their goal stunned us”, said the Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

“Now, we have to obtain a positive result at Anfield and that will be extremely complicated. The only way to win there is to move quickly with the ball and not waste any goalscoring chances. And there wouldn’t be many to begin with because Liverpool are very good when it comes to closing down their opponents.”
