Ramos - Clean sheet crucial

Sergio Ramos believes that keeping a clean sheet at Santiago Bernabeu will be key for Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League encounter with Liverpool. The Spain international defender is confident that Los Merengues can triumph over the two legs even though he knows how difficult it will be against a Reds side packed with European experience.Playing against many of his international team-mates will also be a new experience for Ramos and it is one that he is looking forward to."Liverpool are a great team and we will have to try not to concede any goals at home and then try to score at Anfield," he told the club's official website.We can win it"I think we can win and it will be a great tie because many team-mates of mine from the Spanish national team will play and we'll all enjoy it. "Every player dreams about playing at venues such as the Bernabeu and Anfield. Their crowds make a difference and we will try to thrill ours."Ramos thinks that Madrid can win the Champions League, but recognises that there are a lot of teams that will be attempting the same feat."We will try to take things slowly," he continued. "We want to win the trophy, but the competition is fierce."
