Real Madrid are locked in with another all time Spanish duel, as Jose Mourinho crew advance through the quarter-final to face their angry La Liga opponent Barcelona, in what will most definitely be a real treet for all of you worldwide.

As we eagerly wait for the opening whistle to be blown, Madrid stellar forward Cristiano Ronaldo addresses his team-mates they should be weary of the threat coming from the other side, as they are to claim their twelfth Champions League final, though it would be their first final in nine years.

“We are happy for qualifying for the next round,” Ronaldo told realmadrid.com. “Tottenham Hotspur are a great team, but we did a great job in both games.

“We’ve taken an important step because we’re now closer to the final.

“We will face the strongest opponent of all in the semi-finals, and we must be ready. Barcelona are one of the best teams in the world, but so are we.

“We have to believe it is possible for us to beat them. We are having a good run and feel confident.

“The team that makes the least mistakes will reach the final. I hope it’s Real Madrid.”

However, the two teams priority at the time is the the weekend’s La Liga clash, famous ‘El Clasico’ battle but also Copa del Rey final between Madrid and Barca next week. The capital club are having a hard time with this wild goose chase, as they are still eight points away from Barcelona and the captain, Iker Casillas insists the main focus is still on the league.

Casillas stated: “We must now focus on our league clash against them because it is the nearest of them all.

“It will be completely different to our fixtures in the semi-finals.

“I am Real Madrid’s captain, and I would be disrespecting Madridistas if I said Saturday’s Clasico didn’t matter.

“We want to defeat Barcelona on Saturday to earn more points because the league title is still attainable. It isn’t all lost.”
