Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder says he will be going up against his 'second father' when his side face Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

Celebration

The first leg of the quarter-final tie comes at the Bernabeu on Wednesday ahead of a meeting in Turkey next week. Despite his reverence for Mourinho, Sneijder says he will not refrain from celebrating should he find the back of the net against his former club. "It would be a great thrill, and I'm not saying I won't celebrate a goal, because I think I will," he said. "I don't know how I would react at a moment like that, but clearly it would be a very special goal, and anyway, not celebrating goals doesn't achieve anything."
