Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says the UEFA Champions League is Real Madrid's ultimate goal ahead of Wednesday's last-16 first leg at the Bernabeu.
"It's always been important to them, the European Cup, and I don't think it (pressure) necessarily applies to Jose as I think he's done a great job there. "He's really built up a terrific squad of players and could play two teams, like us. I don't think it applies to him but you never know in football. "I don't think there's any secrecy in his own desire to win the European Cup as, don't forget, he'd be the only person to win it with three different teams so it's a fantastic challenge for Jose." The two managers have enjoyed a friendly rivalry since first competing against one another during United's Champions League defeat to Porto in 2004. Ferguson added: "I think he's pitting his wits against me. I think it's a great challenge - the two biggest clubs in the world and obviously it's a big game for us."
