Players get several emotions when they face Real Madrid. Nervous and scared are the two most common, but seldom does anyone claim to be excited over the prospect of meeting the 11-time Champions League winners.

This was the reaction of Valencia star Nani, as he was asked about his thoughts on their upcoming clash with the league leaders. The Spanish outfits will battle it out on Wednesday at La Mestalla.

This will be one of two games that Los Blancos have in hand – the other being vs. Celta Vigo. Real Madrid missed their Valencia clash due to the FIFA Club World Cup, but will be given the chance to earn all three points this week.

Nani is relishing the challenge. He said: “To tell you the truth, I am looking forward to this game. It is something to enjoy. You play against a big team,” said the Portuguese ace.
