Swedish football player Pontus Wernbloom plays for CSKA and was of course in the papers today. “We are not afraid of Real Madrid.” And he thinks they have a 40% chance in the game. He’s a bit of a Madridista and said before an El Clásico awhile back, “I hope Cristiano will play. And that Kaka has a good day at work.”

More recently he said, “Outside of the north it’s all Real. It’s going to be a great big deal to face Real. Only hope I get to play.”

He got the question, who would you like to tackle? “Cristiano Ronaldo. That would have been nice.”

“I often play against the opponents number 10. I have learned to never leave him alone, always be on his Achilles tendon.” (more here but it’s in Swedish)
