Fabio Coentrao believes that Real Madrid are "one of the favourites" to win the Champions League this season.

Madrid face CSKA Moscow tomorrow in a round two tie, with the winner handed a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

"Madrid have a team with great quality, we have some of the best players and every club in this stage of the Champions League is a favourite, so we are one of the favourites," he said during a press conference.

Coentrao, 23, joined Los Blancos in the summer from Benfica.
