MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said Liverpool will be physically demanding opponents after the two sides were drawn together in the Champions League quarter-finals, but the glamour tie will not distract them from their La Liga title bid.

The 13-times European champions were pitted against last season's Premier League winners in Friday's draw, in a repeat of the 2018 final, which Zidane's side won 3-1.
