‘What is the medium I still watch the game. Especially the games of Real Madrid, Arsenal and Fenerbahce,’ Ozil said when asked if he still watched the Whites’ games.
When asked if he watched the game between Manchester City and Real Madrid. ‘Yes, it was a fantastic battle, City showed why no one wants to face them. They controlled the game most of the time. But not all’
‘Real Madrid were as smart as ever. They defend very well. I think Real Madrid are now the favorites. I believe they can win the Champions League.’
Ozil also spoke about his memories of the ‘El Clasico’ game before Real Madrid opens the Santiago Bernabeu arena to face Barcelona on Sunday.
‘At the time it was the most important game in the world of football. Unfortunately for us, Barca might be the best Barca in history. Pep’s Barca are on another level, definitely different to the Barca of today.’
‘I think right now the global attention is more focused on matches like Liverpool – Man City or other Premier League clashes. Here I think El Clasico has gone downhill and it’s a shame.’
‘But that’s not Real Madrid’s fault as they are without a doubt one of the best teams in the world. The problem is that Barca have lost their potential.’
Ozil also named Real Madrid as clear favorites to face Barcelona on Sunday, saying: ‘Barcelona are struggling, it’s a struggle. They have good players in every position. But they’ve had too many injuries this season and maybe they should focus a little more on themselves and their mistakes. And don’t always complain about the referee.’
‘This doesn’t help, Madrid are having a great season. I didn’t expect this after Karim (Benzema) left the club, but they did very well.’
