Kirkland: Honestly, I don't think there's anything about this Real Madrid team, or Wednesday's game, which will scare Barcelona. They're in the Champions League quarterfinals for the second year in a row now, and in shows. Keogh: The only way I think Real Madrid can really trouble Barcelona is getting Linda Caicedo on the ball in dangerous areas. And I think Madrid have shown enough in recent meetings to suggest they can properly compete with Barça over two legs, even if Barça will still be heavy favourites to progress.
