Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos insists he is not afraid of facing former club Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The holders dispatched Napoli 6-2 on aggregate to book their place in the last eight for the seventh season in succession.
They will meet Bayern - coached by former Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti - in the tie next month, with the Bundesliga leaders having destroyed Arsenal 10-2 across two legs to keep their hopes of a treble alive.
"I'm not scared of Bayern Munich," the Germany international told Faz Sport. "If you want to win the Champions League, you have to beat Bayern or Barcelona anyway.
"I've always liked big challenges in football and playing against the best."
"Zidane transmits a very clear idea to the players," Kroos said. "He doesn't need to give a 20-minute motivational talk, he doesn't need it.
"With his presence alone he achieves what he wants - his personality is synonymous with success.
"Ancelotti speaks a lot with his players, creates a very close-knit atmosphere and the Real Madrid dressing room was very sad when he left."
