Hecking: Wolfsburg doesn't fear Real Madrid

Wolfsburg has plenty of respect for Real Madrid but does not fear their Champions League showdown, coach Dieter Hecking says.

Wolfsburg boss Dieter Hecking says his side will hold no fear of Real Madrid when they meet in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Zinedine Zidane's men are firm favorites to emerge victorious from the tie and go into Wednesday's first leg off the back of a 2-1 win in the Clasico which ended Barcelona's 39-game unbeaten run.

Hecking has plenty of respect for Madrid but has challenged his players to "go through fire" in order to rise to the challenge and record a positive result in Germany.
