Luka named UEFA Player of the Year

“Cristiano is fine and he has trained well, on Thursday, he was angry because he won the Champions League and scored 15 goals”.

“Many teams have been reinforced a lot”. The last time the team lost in a final was in 2013 in the Copa del Rey against Atletico Madrid.

“It’s a powerful group, they always are at this stage of the competition”, Valverde said.

Beaten finalists Liverpool don’t have it much easier, picked in Group A alongside Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Club Brugge as they aim to go one step further than a year ago. Barcelona is a clear candidate to advance but the second spot could be close.

Modric started out at Dinamo Zagreb and then had four years with Tottenham Hotspur before Real prised him away six years ago.

“Man Utd should get through with Juventus, but as it stands right now we don’t know how long Jose is going to be there if these results don’t pick up”. He joined the Italian champions for £99.2 million in July after a trophy-laden, nine-year spell in the Spanish capital with Real Madrid.
