Genk won't go to Madrid to defend

Racing Genk's Australian skipper Josip Skoko is set for one of the biggest games in his career tonight against Real Madrid.

He told the 'Daily Telegraph', "We are not going there to defend. Our coach has told us to put our passes together and play good football."

"Really no one expects us to get close to them."

"We are a very young team. If the nerves don't get to us and we stay close to them you never know what may happen, but we have to start on the right foot."

"We've heard that both Ronaldo and Zidane will play, and no doubt they are world class players."

"I wouldn't say it's the biggest game of my career - World Cup qualifiers rank higher - but, as far as prestige games go, it would be hard to beat. They are one of the best teams in the world, and the have some of the best players in the world."
