Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno refuses to accept that his team are the favourites to overcome Wolfsburg in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno has claimed that 'there is no favourite' in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Wolfsburg.

The Spanish giants could have drawn the likes of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain in Friday's draw, but were handed a fairly favourable two-legged clash with Wolfsburg, who have reached the last eight for the first time in their history.

Butragueno, however, has insisted that Wolfsburg are "a very dangerous side" and warned his team about the dangers of complacency.

"When you're in the quarter-finals you know you're going to get a tough opponent. They're a German outfit here [in the last eight] for the first time in their history, which means they'll have extra motivation and we must prepare for the tie very, very well," Butragueno told UEFA.com.

"We need to use the quality that our players have to get a good result in Germany before playing in front of our fans. They're a very dangerous side. In this tie there's no favourites. Hopefully our squad will be fully fit. We know that in a Champions League knockout tie all small details count."

The first leg of the quarter-final will take place in Germany on April 6.
