“Raul is a real professional. He was a true Madrid captain and he helped me a lot when I had just arrived, like a real boss,” Sneijder told UEFA.com.
“It will be nice to see him again because I haven’t seen him since leaving Madrid. I was surprised when he left Madrid, because he was like Javier Zanetti here at Inter – he was the face of the club. I was sure he would finish his career there, but he is doing well in Germany. He is scoring goals, like he did in Spain, so we have to watch out.”
Sneijder went on to say that it’s not about playing beautiful football at this stage of the season because winning silverware is all that counts.
“I think we are playing the same way as last year, but now the last two months are the most important. Here you can win prizes so we don’t have to think about playing nicely, we have to win our games. We are still in the race to reach the final and win it. We have to believe like we did last year.”
Inter will lock horns with Schalke in the first leg of their quarter-final clash on Tuesday at San Siro.
