"Manchester United" defender Jonny Evans says that the team is not afraid of their opponents in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Ten-time European champions Real Madrid have not lost in 33 consecutive matches at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, and have not suffered a defeat against Manchester United in their last four meetings. However, "Red Devils" center-back Jonny Evans does not pay attention to such statistics and says that the Real Madrid players do not scare them. "We cannot be afraid, because we are Manchester United. Both us and them will face the same pressure. Real have good players who can be dangerous. We play in the Premier League every week, so this match is similar to playing against Manchester City or Liverpool," Evans said confidently. This will be the 26-year-old defender's first visit to the Madrid fortress as a player, although he has previously been to the Santiago Bernabeu as a spectator. "I was about 15 years old at that time. I watched Real matches, and both the stadium and the atmosphere were fantastic. I think we can expect something similar on Wednesday. Players enjoy these kinds of matches, although the feeling can be strange," the defender shared his thoughts. Jonny Evans has played almost 150 matches for Manchester United."
