Real Madrid captain Raul says the players are "very confident" of victory against Arsenal tomorrow night.
 
Raul is ready to play a role in the game after making his comeback from long-term knee injury on Saturday night against Alaves. He said: "We're very confident because our level of game has lifted and recent results have given confidence to us."

"It will be necessary to be careful, however, as though Arsenal are not at their best at the moment, they have players who can make a difference."

"It is necessary to try to win and to maintain a clean sheet. That would give us many options to qualify as we face the second-leg in London."
