"I watched Real Madrid on TV on Saturday scoring six against Betis - they were excellent. I always make sure I watch them when I can because they have such quality," he said.

"Whatever seems to be happening in our league matches, we always seem to turn in a good performance in the Champions League.
"Madrid will be tough, we must be ready. But we believe we can get the right result there.

"So that is an incentive to do well and produce my best form. And if we do get a good result there, it will give us a good lift."
