Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is counting on another "magical night" against Champions League opponents Chelsea.
Real host the quarterfinal first-leg tonight.
Ancelotti said: "It's important to think first that it's a 180-minute game and try to play well tomorrow. This game is not decisive but it could give us an advantage to take into the second leg. The team is feeling good, optimistic and motivated to play in Champions League again and see another magical night at the Bernabu.
"It's a different way of thinking to the other Champions League ties we've played in the past. We must take advantage of playing the first game at home to get ahead for the decider, which is the second leg. The team has always done well at home and away, except against PSG last year. We will look to play a well-rounded game, defend well, better than against Villarreal on Saturday, and attack if possible like we did at the Camp Nou in the second leg of the Cup semi-final.
"It's a group that gets on well with each other. They understand when it's time to joke and when it's time to be serious very well. Sometimes they have fun together, but they need no prompting when it's time to be serious. Managing this dressing room is very easy for me. I manage it very well. I'm fantastic at management, but there are other things. This team is well put together and if we win the Copa del Rey we will have won every possible title in two seasons. There are teams that don't manage that in a lifetime."
