I don't see how Real is better than us on paper.
Sure they have Modric and Kroos in the middle but if we can neutralize that and avoid silly mistakes at the back, we shouldn't lose.
Last time we were the better side but made one costly fuck up. This time there's no real pressure either. A result will be a happy outcome, but failing to win is simply a prestige hit without serious consequences. First or second shouldn't matter much here if our aim is to be one of the best sides in Europe.
