We are level on six points with Madrid, with both sides having won their opening two Group H fixtures.
It will no doubt be a daunting trip for the lads in Madrid, to concentrate just on Ronaldo would be dangerous and naive. They have too many players that can destroy us and we will have to keep our heads too. Do you think our defence can keep Ronaldo quiet. Can we surprise a few and get a result in Madrid?
