The Spanish international has expressed his desire to watch Los Blancos lift their 10th European trophy.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 stated that Real Madrid are more than ready to face Bayern Munich in the semi-final of the prestigious tournament and will try their best to book a place in the final.
The Spanish giants travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 on Tuesday to play against the Bavarians in the first leg of the semi-final. The match, that will take place at the Allianz Arena, is expected to be a thrilling encounter and football purists believe that it will be massively
competitive.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 man is adamant that Los Vikingos have what it takes to make it to the final and emerge victorious in Europe’s most coveted competition.
The Santiago Bernabeu outfit have been the champions of Europe, for a record, 9 times. Considering their domestic exploits as well, the record makes them the most successful club in the history of the sport.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 is solely focused in taking the record to 10 European triumphs.
The midfielder claimed that winning the Champions League is a dream for every footballer in the modern game and added it is the most appealing competition of its nature.
Jose Mourinho’s men have enjoyed a considerably successful campaign in Europe this season. After they finished the group stages with a perfect record, it has been an easy road for Los Merengues in the Champions League as well.
Bayern Munich on the other hand have been equally destructive in their European campaign so far. With their domestic title chances dwindling, they will be fully focused on Tuesday’s game.
While talking to bwin.com, the Alonso was quoted as saying:
"The Champions League is always the most appealing of tournaments and winning a tenth for the club would be important, so we are focused on being a part of that."
"Time will tell, and history has seen both Real Madrid and Bayern winning the Champions League after eliminating the other in the semi-finals. That's where we want to be and the tie will be thrilling, but who knows how the winner will fare in the final.”
Will the German giants halt Madrid’s progress in the Champions League or will they succumb to the destructive force Los Blancos have become? Only time will tell.
