Julian Draxler: "We want to play a good match"

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 17 March 2014

Schalke 04 attacker Julian Draxler has insisted that the German outfit "want to play a good match" in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

The German outfit travel to the Bernabeu having lost the first leg 6-1 last month, a situation which Draxler has branded "comical".

"Playing at the Bernabeu is somewhere that every footballer wants to play," Draxler told Schalke's official website.

"Without pulling any punches, out situation is comical. We are realistic enough to know that being 6-1 down there are not many possibilities for us. Nevertheless, we want to play a good match."

Draxler is widely expected to leave Schalke at the end of the season.
