Villarreal defender Alberto Moreno: Real Madrid lack big names of past

Villarreal defender Alberto Moreno says they're capable of upsetting Real Madrid this weekend.

Moreno, however, doesn't expect Real to be distracted with next week's Champions League round of 16 tie against PSG on the horizon.

He told AS: "They'll come how they come, it will be a complicated game for sure, we know that and everyone knows it. Madrid is always complicated, no matter how it is, come how it comes.

"But playing at home and as we go, the truth is that we are convinced that we can have a great game. We are in a good moment and with confidence, so it is a very even and beautiful game. We are going out to win and convinced of it.

"By names it may be less than the Madrid that I faced with Liverpool in the Champions League, but it is always Madrid. They have great players like Benzema, Vinicius, Alaba, Modric, Kroos... many players of a very high level. They may not have what they were from that time, but if you put them together they are very strong and make a great team."
