Real Madrid Confidencial Cristóbal Soria Challenges Real Madrid After Barça - Benfica, Indirect Message
Shocking Message from the Commentator Looking Toward Real Madrid
Barcelona managed to meet expectations and defeated Benfica to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals. They were the favorites as they had been favored in the draw that took place. In fact, they are on the easier side of the bracket and should have an easy path until the semifinals.
This is what Cristóbal Soria thinks, although the controversial commentator has gone a step further. He doesn't consider either Inter or Bayern as rivals for Barça, the possible semifinalists. He is already confidently placing the blaugranas in the Champions League final without any doubt.
He did so with a message he posted on a Twitter profile after the Barça – Benfica match. A warning that also poses a challenge to Real Madrid, with a very evident hint. It should be noted that there would only be a Clásico in a hypothetical final as they wouldn't meet before.
"Watching this FC Barcelona of Pedri and Lamine Yamal play and after the draw's pairings" he began by saying. "We will all agree that Barça is the top favorite to play in the Champions League final and that we would only need to know the opponent…" Soria assured. He has no doubts that Flick's team will be in the final.
Real Madrid Only Think About the Champions League Round of 16 Return Leg Against Atlético
It is true that many Barça fans like Cristóbal Soria are already thinking about the Champions League final. However, at Real Madrid, they prefer not to get ahead of themselves so quickly. They know that there are still 3 rounds ahead and they want to take it step by step.
The first thing is to secure qualification this Wednesday at the Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid. They know it won't be easy although they bring a favorable 2-1 result from the first leg. But even if they advance to the quarterfinals, they would still have tough obstacles to overcome.
In the quarterfinals, everything indicates that they will have to face Arsenal after their thrashing in the first leg. In the semifinals, the toughest opponent in the bracket is PSG, who eliminated Liverpool. A challenging path that makes Ancelotti's team prefer to be cautious.
