The Bayern Munich manager has vowed to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League at the expense of Real Madrid.

Bayer Leverkusen boss further added:
"We're aware that we'll need a goal or two, although we’re capable of that because we have outstanding forwards. But to start with, we have to keep it compact and tight, which will give us very good opportunities on the break.”

percent in order to keep their chances alive of playing the final.
"It's extremely important we summon up our full potential. We have to give it 100 or even 110 per cent. The last 10 per cent comes from emotional energy. If we succeed, we have a big chance of making the final," Heynckes concluded
Bayern are currently second in the Bundesliga with 67 points and already out of title race with Borussia Dortmund already securing a decisive lead with two games to play in the competition. If the Reds are able to brush aside Madrid’s
