Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger says he'll be up for his test against Manchester City star Erling Haaland.

The pair will clash tomorrow night in Madrid for the first-leg of the Champions League quarterfinal.

Rudiger told UEFA: "I'm really looking forward to the duel with him, these are the games you've always dreamed of and being part of this is incredible. And if it's against Erling Haaland or against whoever... They have a lot of great players, not just Haaland.

"Obviously, he is a great striker. I am really looking forward to this match, but I expect all matches in the same way, without distinctions."

He also said: "With all due respect to the other clubs I have been in, which were also great, I think they cannot be compared with Madrid. They have 14 European Cups. Here it is always about winning the Champions League without having to say it.

"Of course you feel the pressure, I already experienced it last year. Here you have to be willing to go to the end. Here it's about winning. Draws or defeats are simply not an option."
