Assistant coach Aitor Karanka insists that Real Madrid's match with Villarreal tomorrow evening will not be easy.

Real Madrid will not be underestimating Villarreal during tomorrow's La Liga meeting, according to assistant coach Aitor Karanka.

Villarreal currently sit two points above the relegation zone in the table, while in contrast Madrid are second, just one point behind leaders Levante.

However, despite the Yellows' lowly position, Karanka has insisted that claiming the victory will not be an easy task.

"We look at Villarreal as a team who created many problems for us last year," he told reporters at a press conference.

"They have a great coach, who has been at the club for many years, and they will create us many problems.

"They are a much better team than the table shows."

Cristiano Ronaldo struck a hat-trick as Madrid defeated Malaga 4-0 at the weekend.
