Inter Milan captain Samir Handanovic says they Champions League opponents Real Madrid in good form and with the right motivation.

Handanovic admits he's been studying tonight's opponents since the start of the season.

He said, “I've seen virtually all of Real Madrid's games this year. They're in great form – they score almost every time they have the ball and their attacking trio is in good form. It's up to us to contain them and stop them. They're players that we faced last year, so we know them."

Inter have struggled to get beyond the round of 16 in recent seasons.

But the goalkeeper said: “I think it should give us extra motivation. We have more experience, more belief and more determination now. Our aim is to get through to the next round – we've not managed that in previous years, which means that other teams were better than us or that we weren't good enough. That's in the past, though, and we need to focus on tomorrow's game because it's the start of the Champions League."
