People are really hurt by Real Madrid's. Below is from goal(barca).com...
Zinedine Zidane is gaining a reputation as a lucky general and Real Madrid's draw for the last 16 does nothing to counteract that assertion. By finishing second in the group behind Borussia Dortmund, the 11-times champions were able to avoid Paris St-Germain, Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the knockouts. And not only did they put themselves in a position where they could dodge the best teams in the second pot but they managed to avoid the most fearsome group winners into the bargain.
By drawing Napoli - albeit away from home in the second leg - Real have done about as well as could be hoped for. Napoli have been maddeningly inconsistent in the Champions League so far and do not possess the experience of going deep regularly in this competition. Real made light work of Roma and Wolfsburg in the early knockout stages last season and would appear to be too good on their day for all but the very best Europe has to offer. Los Blancos went all the way to the title last season - greatly aided by a gentle draw - and the set-up looks familiar this time around too. Zidane has done it again.

Napoli are impossible to play at their home ground, you can ask any Serie A fan. They know how to bully opponents in their backyard. Will be a very tough game for us.

For me, I find it amusing most of the times. I love seeing them swallowing their words.

Butragueño:
"We are going to have the first game at home and we have to get a good result. The second-leg is away and we know what the atmosphere will be like in their stadium."
"Napoli have a very good coach and have improved a lot in recent years. It will be a very difficult opponent.We know that the Italian teams compete very well. They are used to withstanding pressure, playing tight and they play very well in these situations."
Ramos’ goal in the league
"Careers are not given away. The prestige that a player gains over time is the result of his talent, dedication and professionalism."
"He has innate abilities and a great mentality that has allowed him to be at the top of world football for so many years. It is fortunate for Real Madrid to have a player like him and for him to be our captain. We’ve been able to see that he was going to be a great leader since many years ago".
Cristiano nominated for the Ballon d'Or
"The year that Cristiano has had deserves that sort of recognition and it is a privilege for us that he is at Real Madrid. He is a man who has been the most decisive player that this this club has had in all its history after Alfredo Di Stéfano".

Marcelo:
"We have not had time to sleep much but we are happy to be here representing Real Madrid and there will be time to rest afterwards. It is a very long trip and you have to prepare for a very nice tournament like this."
"Real Madrid always have the duty to win when they play in any tournament. We always have to give our best to win.There are two games and we have our minds set on winning them both".
Arrival in Japan
"I loved it. The reception from the fans has been spectacular. I had never been to Japan, it’s been a dream since I was little to be here and I have brought my family".
Ramos’ 90th minute goals
"When Sergio scores people think it's easy to get to the 90th minute and score, but it's not. He works hard, he deserves it and it's no accident because he's looking for the ball".
Cristiano and the Ballon d'Or
"He deserves it and will win. But he will be focussed on resting because we have two very important games. He’s probably a bit nervous to find out, I hope Cristiano wins and everyone knows my respect for him".

Zidane:
"We arrived well, now we must rest. We have three days to work and we’ve arrived in good shape. We feel very good and are happy to be here".
"The goal is to try to do everything to win this tournament. The first time I came here was in 96 and it’s always good with the Japanese. They are very affectionate people towards Real Madrid".
The journey
"Today is a difficult day because we didn’t sleep a lot and arrived with jet lag. We’ll rest today. I personally feel dead, but no problem. The players are going to rest and tomorrow we'll be better off for a night’s sleep".
Intercontinental Champion
"I'm not going to talk about what I've done. It's totally different. It's another competition. Many of the players know what the Club World Cup is. It's a competition that we want to win and we're going to try".
"I’ll probably be awake by 4, when the Ballon d'Or is announced".

Callejón and Albiol will face Real Madrid for the first time since they left the club. And I'm always quite scared to face our ex players. They always come back to haunt us.
