Khedira eyes derby delight

Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira is eagerly anticipating Saturday’s La Liga clash at home against city rivals Atletico Madrid.

The Germany international expects a difficult encounter, but stressed that Real have set their sights on the full three points, stating that anything less would be a huge disappointment for the league-leaders.

“Atletico Madrid have a good team, but I’m confident that we can beat them if we keep up our recent form,” Khedira told bwin.com. “It would be a big disappointment if we don’t beat them.”

“A derby is always a difficult game. We are determined to bag the full three points, but it won’t be easy. We have to be focused right from the start, just like in our previous games.”

“We have to let the ball do the work and be aggressive at the right moments in order to create chances. We want to continue our hot streak with a win in the derby.”
