Iker Casillas will be back in goal for Real Madrid for the trip to the Veltins-Arena. The 'Los Blancos' captain knows his side is flying and is eyeing a historic achievement: "I'd love for journalists to be talking about Real Madrid winning its first ever treble come the end of the season".
"We know it's difficult, but we're where we want to be, up there and in the running for all three competitions", Casillas noted.
Turning his attentions to Wednesday's opponents, the goalkeeper said that Schalke "is very strong physically and is getting back on track in the Bundesliga, establishing itself back in the top four". Calling the Germans "dangerous", he stressed the importance of "keeping our shape at the back and everyone pitching in defensively. In other words, we have to keep doing what we've been doing and try to take our chances".
"You have to enjoy the occasion"
The shotstopper also explained how he approaches big games: "You have to enjoy the occasion. It's a very important game, the Champions League last 16, and you have to enjoy it. It's the type of match all players dream of playing in. I look forward to featuring in these sorts of encounters because they are important and are followed all over the world".
