The Spanish international believes Bayern possess prodigious attackers in their midst as Los Blancos travel to the Allianz Arena for the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.
Jose Mourinho will lead Real Madrid against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, April 17, for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League double header semi-final fixture.
The German giants have swarmed to second place behind Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga rankings and boast off an in-form attacking line-up that matches the star power of Galacticos v2.0.
A tough fixture is expected as Madrid will have to tackle the attacking genius of Franck Ribery, Mario Gomez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Thomas Muller from the get go.
Despite their strong defensive showings in Europe in the current campaign, Bayern can cause problems for Madrid, a fact admitted by Spanish international, Xabi Alonso.
Reflecting on the situation, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 commented that he is gunning to tackle his wits with the famed attacking line-up of the Bavarian giants.
The Spaniard was respectful of the opposition, but believes Los Blancos have enough in the tank to oversee their threat.
“We know Bayern rather well and I think they have considerable potential in attack thanks to their quality and talented players that can break our defence line. We will try to keep them in check as best as we can," http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 was quoted on bwin.com.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 midfielder stated that Real Madrid will go into the match to get a positive result, expecting a victory or a draw. He remarked that a loss will be a dangerous outcome and they would do their best to avoid defeat on the road.
He added that scoring a goal in the away leg will give them a much-needed advantage for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"We expect a good result in the first leg and we obviously don't want to lose. We want to score one goal on the road to have an advantage in the return leg. It would be good to win or get a score draw, but our objective is to win."
English referee, Howard Webb, will oversee the first leg at the Allianz Arena.
