Wolfsburg vs. Gent: Casteels calls for attacking display

Koen Casteels is urging Wolfsburg not to underestimate Gent and to attack in order to secure progression in the Champions League.

Wolfsburg must attack Gent in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, despite heading into Tuesday's match at the Volkswagen Arena with a 3-2 lead, says Koen Casteels.

Dieter Hecking's side surged three goals ahead in the opening encounter at the Ghelamco Arena on February 17 and looked set for a simple route into the quarterfinals when Max Kruse added to Julian Draxler's double in the 60th minute.

But the Bundesliga side failed to hold onto its advantage, conceding goals to Sven Kums and Kalifa Coulibaly in the final 10 minutes to set up a tense return match.
