He told reporters: "As we know Real Madrid are one of the best counter-attacking teams in Europe. We have to find a way of coping with that, but also have our own threat in an attacking sense.
"I think that both teams are in form. They've found form at the right time for a game of this nature, but we've been consistent for quite a while.
"As a European night I don't think you get better than this one. It's set up to be a marvellous game and I don't think it will be a disappointment."
Ferguson also confirmed that England international Phil Jones, who man-marked Cristiano Ronaldo in the first leg, will be missing at Old Trafford due to an ankle injury.
