“When you are going to play against the best team in the world – because I think they are the best today and in the last two seasons – you never know (if you are at their level),” he said.
“We will be very motivated to play against them. We know very well their quality. It’s a big challenge for us to see which is our level, and if we can compete at this type of level.
“Both games will be very important to see which level we are and I will tell you after the games if we are. But I think we will be very motivated to play against the best team in the world.
“We are growing in the last few seasons, being competitive. We need to show ourselves we can compete at that level, against these types of teams, against Real Madrid in the Champions League.”
