The former Bayern Munich striker has insisted that Bayern have a great chance of winning this season’s Champions League.
The Munich based outfit has the upper hand after winning the first encounter at the Allianz Arena with a 2-1 scoreline. Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez found the net for the hosts whereas Mesut Ozil scored the all important away
goal for the visitors.
Giovane Elber claimed that his former side has a very good chance of going through to the final of the competition as they have been playing some excellent football over the past few weeks. He added that the team is determined
to perform in Madrid and will give their all to get a good result.
“With their 2-1 lead, I think they've got a very good chance. Madrid are very strong, no doubt about it, but the opportunity is there. They're hungry for success, they're not content just to stand around on the pitch and watch
the other side play,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the former Brazilian international stated that he is hopeful that Bayern will play the final in Munich next month after getting the better of Real Madrid in the semi-final. The finale will be played at Bayern
home ground, Allianz Arena.
The former striker also insisted that it will be difficult to predict which team will qualify for the final as Chelsea and Barcelona are equally strong sides and both deserve to be in the last two of the competition.
“I'll be in Munich for the final on May 19th. I just hope FC Bayern will be there too. Against either Barcelona or Chelsea, anything's possible. Everyone's going on the assumption that Barcelona will make the final, but they're
far from there yet. And FC Bayern are capable of winning both games,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will face each other in the second-leg of the Champions League semi final on Wednesday, April 25, whereas http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 will lock heads on Tuesday night at the Camp Nou. The final will be played
at the Allianz Arena on May 19th.
