Lazio welcome Real Madrid to the imposing Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night for a hotly anticipated Champions League group C encounter. However, fans of the Rome-based side have some cause to be wary of their opponents after Lazio's poor start to the season. They have managed just one win in six Serie A games and Sunday's 1-1 draw at Reggina saw them drop to 12th in the table. Coach Delio Rossi, though, remains upbeat. SOUNDBITE (Italian) "I want my team to play this match in an open way, even if they are stronger, I want them to play with no regrets."

Bernd Schuster's side have registered five victories and one draw. And captain Raul is keen to build on Real's 2-1 win over Werder Bremen on Champions League Matchday One. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) "I think that Real Madrid in the last few years in the Champions league wasn't at the expected levels and this year we want to go very far. It is clear that our goal is to reach the final." SUPERCAPTION: Raul Gonzalez Blanco, Real Madrid captain Schuster will have to make do without Brazilian attacker Robinho because of an ankle injury, however Ruud van Nistelrooy should return in attack after he was rested in Sunday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
