Real Madrid after back-to-back El Clasico wins.
The Spanish giants travel to Old Trafford having conceded an away goal
in the first leg of the Champions League clash three weeks ago.
But, since then, they have beaten Barcelona twice -- and Ramos reckons
that gives them a massive boost ahead of tomorrow's return.
The defender said, "Psychologically, the team has strengthened after
the Clasicos and we go to Manchester convinced we can go through. We
know we can go through.
"We gained a lot of morale by beating Barcelona again. It's a
tremendous satisfaction for the team but now, more than ever, we must
keep our feet on the ground.
"We haven't achieved anything yet. It's two Clasicos -- one of them
gave us the ticket to the Spanish Cup final and the second helped us
reduce the gap in La Liga.
"We still have such a long way to go but the desire is to eliminate
United at Old Trafford. But we will go to Manchester showing great
respect to our opponent."
Madrid are still 13 points behind Barcelona in La Liga and know their
season rests on their titanic clash with Alex Ferguson's side.
All the euphoria from the wins over Barcelona will disappear instantly
if Real fail at Old Trafford.
Ramos added, "What is true is that the squad is going through a
brilliant moment of form. Earlier this season we conceded many goals
from setpieces and now it's the others who do that.
"Now we have a game of huge importance in Manchester and we are going
to try to take advantage from these last few results and hope it goes
the same way."
