Champions League preview: Real Madrid face tricky trip to Napoli

Standing in the way is Reina, the 34-year-old Spaniard who declared after the first leg that Napoli could win. They were without Ronaldo, but managed to stay on track with a 4-1 win.

“We’re united by necessity, now our common goal is to do well”, the Coach said at a Press conference.

“Zinedine Zidane: “[The lead] does not change anything, we can not alter our mindset.

Even with Atletico falling far off the track this season, La Liga’s title race hasn’t failed to entertain us.

“When things don’t go as we’d like, we get together, but that’s what happens in all the best families”.

Napoli are now third in Serie A and have a host of unsafe players led by the in-form Dries Mertens – who scored twice against Roma on Saturday.

The match will take place at the Stadio San Paolo.

“This is a great event and we have to enjoy it, we’ll be playing against great players”.

Meanwhile, for Napoli, a 2-0 win in this match at their home ground is enough for them to get through to the last eight.

If Napoli are to go through on away goals, they will have to do what no team has managed since Wolfsburg beat Madrid in the quarter-finals almost a year and 46 games ago – keep a clean sheet against Los Blancos.

“We’ll have to protect the ball and make them play fewer balls into space. In every Premier League game, you have to be at 100 percent for 90 minutes or you lose”, Bale told The Sun.

Bale’s ban only applies to domestic competitions while Ronaldo has recovered from his minor problem to be named in the squad – raising the question of whether Zidane should roll the dice with the duo and Benzema all in his team.

‘Everyone can say what they prefer, ‘ stated Zidane when asked if he would start the trio. I’m only satisfied to have nearly the entire squad available.

“Maybe we have a 3 percent chance but we have to try”.

“I want us to leave everything out on the pitch and play good football, but also use our heads”.
