Roma forward Stephan El Shaarawy think that his team should not fear Real Madrid, as they prepare to face them in a crucial Champions League game.

The former AC Milan winger was part of the team that famously beat Barcelona last season to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The team from the Italian capital face another European titan in Real Madrid on Tuesday, and the player thinks that his team should not fear 'Los Blancos'.

"Marid are Madrid, we know their strength. It will be a difficult match and we will play with a lot of determination because qualification is vital. And if we can do it topping the group, even better" the Italian told 'AS'.

"Having a really good game would give us a lot of confidence. That's our aim. We've already done it against Chelsea, against Barcelona.

"We arrived at the Nou Camp with a sense of fear, and they made the most of it. they could have scored a lot more goals than they actually did. This time around, there is no reason for us to be afraid of them."
