Hercules striker Nelson Valdez says they can shock Real Madrid this weekend.

Valdez has already helped Hercules defeat Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

He claimed: "If we were able to win at Barcelona, why could we not repeat it against Real Madrid? I respect them, but I have no fear of them.

"After Barcelona, I now take on the other half of the Spanish national team. Let's see what happens with Real Madrid. I once scored a goal that was disallowed against Casillas, and hopefully this does not happen again."
