Levante players desperate to avoid Real Madrid 8-0 repeat

Levante players are desperate to avoid a thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid this weekend.

Levante's last visit to Madrid ended in embarrassment as they were thrashed 8-0 in the Copa del Rey just before Christmas, and the Valencia-based side are determined to avoid a similar story this weekend.

Striker Felipe Caicedo said: "It's a league game, it's something different and hopefully the result isn't repeated. We have to go there with the anger of the 8-0, which we haven't forgotten."

Levante midfielder Vicente Iborra added: "We're going there with pride a little wounded, nobody likes to be humiliated like they did to us. We're going to try and improve the image that we gave there."
