Real Madrid star David Alaba accepts they have a "brutally difficult" clash with Liverpool to come but has underlined his sky-high ambitions.
The Austrian started at the heart of defence as Los Blancos overcame the Reds in the final in Paris back in May. The two European heavyweights have been drawn together once again in this season's competitions and will square off in the last 16.
Madrid have continued to go from strength to strength as they look to retain their Champions League crown. Liverpool meanwhile, who had their sights on the quadruple last term, have experienced a notable decline with their top four status very much under threat.
