Napoli defender Raul Albiol admits it's “difficult to win 2-0” in the return leg with Real Madrid “but we’re playing at home”.
The Partenopei were beaten 3-1 at the Bernabeu last night, meaning they would go through to the Champions League quarter finals with a 2-0 win at San Paolo.
The stadium is already sold-out for the match, and the centre-back is hoping that the crowd can push them to an unlikely triumph.
“Real Madrid deserved to win,” Albiol told Spanish reporters.
