The former Spanish international believes there is little to separate Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the race to book a place in Champions League final.
Real Madrid welcome Bayern Munich to the Santiago Bernabeu for the return leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.
Jose Mourinho’s charges need to overcome the one-goal deficit they accrued at the Allianz Arena as they lost 2-1.
Reflecting his views on the crunch European fixture, former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 gloves man, Santiago Canizares, commented that it is difficult to separate both sides and added that both European behemoths have equal chance of securing a place in the final.
Canizares tipped the German side to be wary of Real Madrid’s attackers who have led the Capital club from the front for their excellent home form, and also highlighted their ability to create goal scoring chances.
He stated that in this situation Bayern’s best form of action will be to keep Los Blancos’ forwards at bay, and try to hit them on the counter.
The retired Spanish footballer added that the Bundesliga outfit need to neutralize their rivals in the same manner they did at the Allianz Arena and can make it to the final if they are able to do it.
"Can I see Bayern reach the Champions League final? It's 50-50 at the moment. Real Madrid are very strong at home and usually create a lot of chances. Bayern have the quality to withstand them though."
"I believe that it would be a good tactic to play on the counterattack. They have to stay organised on the ball, and charge forward whenever they win the ball.”
"Bayern were very motivated at the Allianz Arena and neutralised Madrid's star players. They didn't give away any space. They can make it to the final if they replicate that performance."
Real Madrid go into the European fixture on the back of an impressive 2-1 victory at the Camp Nou, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 hitting the back of the net. Win at the home of their eternal rivals has effectively handed the outfit from metropolitan
Madrid La Liga title in the process.
