The Bayern Munich president has insisted that the Bavarian giants are capable of beating any team in Europe.
Jupp Heynckes’ side has been in killer touch in the last few weeks and are one of the four teams to have qualified for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The Bavarian giants will face Real Madrid in the last four clash
in a bid to make their way to the final at Allianz Arena.
Hoeness claimed that Real Madrid are a very strong team and they have shown what they are capable of this season. He insisted that it will be a very exciting fixture for the fans as they will witness two great teams playing against
each other.
The chief stressed that Bayern are certainly on the same level as Jose Mourinho’s side and the two teams are on the same level. He added that the Munich giants will have to be on their toes to make sure they get a result against
the spirited Madrid side.
“I have a lot of respect for Real Madrid. They are a great club, but we are as well. First of all I must say that it is always a highlight of a player's career if they can play against Real Madrid. In this respect, we can all look
forward to two great games. We are in good shape, but so are Real. This is a comparison on equal footing,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Hoeness expressed his delight on the team’s display against Olympique Marseille in the quarter-final of the competition. He remains confident that Bayern will be able to reach the final of the tournament and
are serious contenders to win the title.
“We can be very satisfied. The team played very homogeneously and put in a lot of effort. It's fun to watch. We're playing as well as we did in the autumn,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich will take on Real Madrid in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, April 17 and will play the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu a week later.
