Levante striker Jose Luis Morales is ready to face crisis club Real Madrid today.

Real go into game on the back of three defeats in the last four games.

Morales told Marca: "Back to back wins have filled us with confidence. We could have built on that but the international break stopped it, that's what the competition is like.

"One always dreams of beating the giants, it would be beautiful to win there. We go with a lot of hope. We don't go to be party of a party to end their winless run, we arrive with respect but not fearing anyone. We treat every rival as equal."

On Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Juventus, he added: "It's surprising that a player who has achieved everything in Madrid ends up leaving. He has his reasons for leaving. I guess he wanted to try another league and when a player has these ambitions they realise them."
