Real Madrid have drawn Atletico in the Champions League round of 16 today.
Butragueno reacted, stating: "We know each other very well. They are very strong defensively and they are very good up front. They will be two very difficult matches, but we trust in our players and what this competition means for us.
"It is true that the schedule is a tremendous one. All the matches will be very competitive and very demanding. We have to prepare well to see who is the strongest. We will do everything possible to qualify for the quarter-finals."
