Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol believes that winning against Milan at the Bernabeu in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League encounter will give Los Blancos a great chance to finish top of their group but he is wary of the quality they possess.
Madrid have a 100 per cent record in the competition so far while Milan suffered a shock defeat to FC Zurich last time out and Albiol says that his side must seize the opportunity against the Rossoneri.
"They are having lots of trouble but come here wanting to do well. It is a rival that is not in a good moment right now. We know that Milan has a lot of quality but we must seize the moment of pressure they are in after losing at home to Zurich in the Champions League," Albiol told a press conference.
"It's an important game. It's true that Milan is not doing good in the league, but it's a great team and always gives their best in the Champions League. It is a very experienced team in the competition and has very good players."
"It does not matter whether or not the game is in the first phase or not and more so when it comes to a major rival like Milan. If we win on Wednesday we will take a major step to be top of the group and qualify."
