Real Madrid will not be underestimating Dinamo Zagreb in tonight's Champions League fixture, according to assistant coach Aitor Karanka.

Real Madrid assistant coach Aitor Karanka has insisted that his players will not be taking Dinamo Zagreb lightly this evening.

Karanka has plugged the void left by coach Jose Mourinho, who is currently serving a UEFA-imposed touchline suspension for Champions League matches.

Pundits have tipped Madrid to record a comfortable victory in Croatia tonight but Karanka refuses to be too complacent.

"They are a Croatian team, so have quality, and it has been many years since they were in the Champions League," Karanka told a press conference.

"They will be an opponent that create many problems. If we are going to think that they are an easy opponent, we will be in trouble."

Brazilian midfielder Kaka has been ruled out of the match with a heel injury, but Sami Khedira has been included after recovering from a thigh problem.
