Asier Riesgo: 'We can beat Real Madrid'

Riesgo: 'We can beat Real Madrid'

Osasuna goalkeeper Asier Riesgo has insisted that his side can overcome Real Madrid in their last-16 Copa del Rey clash on Wednesday.

Madrid will enter the match with a 2-0 lead from the first leg last week, but Riesgo is confident that Osasuna can triumph in Pamplona.

"Yes, I think it's possible for us to make a comeback. Being two goals behind from the first leg, we'll have to do a lot of things well," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We'll have to stick together to avoid their counter-attacks, make it an uncomfortable game for them and make the best use of our own strengths.

"We'll have to try to score a goal as soon as we can, to bring ourselves closer to turning the tie around. It's going to be an exciting game."

Riesgo came off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win over Real Betis.
