Real
Madrid vs WolfsburgThe last two seasons in which Wolfsburg met Spanish
opposition – against Atletico Madrid in the Uefa Cup in 1999/2000 and
Villarreal in the Europa League in 2009/10, an English side lost the
final of that competition after extra time (Arsenal to Galastasaray in
2000 and Fulham to Atletico Madrid in 2010). Wolfsburg trailed 1-0 at
the interval in both their previous matches in Spain before levelling in
the second half.Real Madrid welcomed German opposition to the Bernabeu
in the shape of Schalke in the last-16 last season – and were almost
dumped out as they lost 4-3 at home, squeezing through 5-4 on aggregate.
Former Real striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar returned to haunt his old side
with two goals as Carlo Ancelotti’s side were made to work for
progression to the last eight
