Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas says that his side will have to be at their best to overcome Schalke 04 in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas is confident that his side will progress from their last-16 Champions League tie with Schalke 04.

The Spanish outfit were drawn with the Bundesliga side on Monday, with the second leg to be held at the Bernabeu as Madrid topped their group.

"They are very strong physically and play well on the break," Casillas told reporters at a press conference.

"We have the advantage of the second leg at home but we'll go to Germany to win and try to go through to the next round.

"Maybe they are not one of the favourites to win the Champions League, but we will have to play very professionally and respect the other team. We hope to go through to the next round."

Madrid were knocked out in the semi-finals of the Champions League by Borussia Dortmund last season.
