Los Blancos is not afraid of meeting their bitter rival in the final, if Perez's words are anything to go by.

Many fans have accused UEFA in the past of trying to arrange an El Clasico final in the Champions League. While this has never happened before, it could become a reality this season with both Real Madrid and Barcelona likely to make the semi-finals.

And Blancos has no fears over facing their bitter rival on the grand stage. This was a message echoed by club president Florentino Perez ahead of the 2nd leg quarter-final ties.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Perez welcomed the prospect of facing the Catalan giant in Kyiv. He, however, warned the Blaugrana that they could face a repeat of their Spanish Super Cup defeat at the hands of Cristiano and Co.

A stellar performance both home and away by Zidane’s men handed Valverde’s side a 5-1 defeat. The Real Madrid president hinted that a similar loss could be inflicted on Barcelona should they meet in the final.

"The important thing for is to reach the final and I imagine that we'll have to play Bayern first," he said, as per Marca.

"We always seem to play against them. But if we were to play Barcelona in the final, I remember that earlier this year we beat them twice in the Supercopa: 3-1 away and 2-0 at home."

As stated by Perez, first both Spanish sides must confirm their spot in the last four. Los Merengues hosts Juventus on Wednesday with a comfortable 3-0 lead while Messi and Co. face Roma on Tuesday at the Stadio Olimpico.
