Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has spoken about the challenge of taking on Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The Blues, sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League, take on the European and Club World Champions in the quarter finals over two legs.
However, Azpilicueta believes his side to have enough quality to trouble Madrid and progress.
It's a unique opportunity and only eight teams are here. It's special and difficult. This is a tie that will demand the most of us, from each one and as a team, because we play against the current champions. It's the third year in a row that we play against them. They have a lot of experience," he said during a press conference.
He then added: We are better than they think."
And finally, he finished: All rivals must be treated with respect, with humility. We know that Real Madrid are a club with a great history in the competition and that is why we need to be at our best."
