The Alaves goalkeeper, who is a product of the Blancos' famed academy system, is preparing to face familiar faces on Saturday
Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale remain "world-class" talents, says Fernando Pacheco, with the Alaves goalkeeper - who is a product of Real Madrid's academy system - prepared to give two proven performers the "respect" they deserve.
Pacheco is readying himself for a meeting with the Blancos on Saturday, with the new La Liga season getting underway.
He could be in for a busy evening, despite a lack of transfer activity at Santiago Bernabeu, with a man who spent nine years in the Spanish capital between 2006 and 2015 aware that Carlo Ancelotti has plenty of match-winning talent at his disposal.
