Real Madrid

Alvaro Arbeloa said he hopes the team keeps its undefeated homes streak in La Liga alive against Sporting on Saturday. The defender said the match won't be easy.

"We have to concentrate on La Liga to win the title. Saturday's match against Sporting will be complicated. They made it difficult for us in the first leg and we failed to defeat them. They are in good form and confident. We'll have to work very hard to defeat them."

"Sporting pressurised well against us at El Molinon. They have very unbalancing players. We're going to have to play a good game to keep our home streak alive."

"We aren't invincible at home, but we are very confident because we know it is hard for us to drop points at the Bernabeu, where the crowd fervently supports us."

"It will be hard to win all of our home games, but we'll try. We have the best suited coach in the world for Real Madrid. He has the unconditional support of the fans."
