Main goalkeeper Keylor Navas of Madrid's "Real" is not expecting an easy match in Lisbon and states that the team will have to play cautious football for the full 90 minutes. Tonight, "Real" will face Lisbon's "Sporting" club, where Lithuanian player Lukas Spalvis is currently sidelined due to injury. The first match between these teams in the UEFA Champions League ended in a victory for the "whites" with a score of 2-1, but it was only achieved at the end of the game. "Real" unexpectedly dropped points in the last round against Warsaw's "Legia", so if they want to fight for the top spot with Dortmund's "Borussia" - three points in Portugal are crucial. "The first match against 'Sporting' was very difficult," - Navas stated. - They have very dangerous players who exploit open spaces. If we lose concentration - they can hurt us severely." "In attack, they also have very technical players who excel in finishing attacks. It is very important for us to remain organized as a team and not lose focus. As for me, I am very grateful to God that I am ready for these matches. The team is in excellent shape. We are compact and, most importantly, very united. We are optimistic and will try to achieve a positive result," - added Navas.
