BECKENBAUER STARTS MINDGAMES
Franz Beckenbauer has already started the mind games with Real Madrid after saying that Bayern Munich are much better than Real Madrid. The Bayern Munich legend has also said that Real Madrid seem extremely ordinary in comparison with Bayern Munich.
Even though the club have failed to win the domestic league title for the second season in a row, the former defender considers Real Madrid, who have almost sealed the league title this season after opening a seven-point advantage over Barcelona, as ordinary. Real Madrid will see coming into the match having secured a crucial away goal at the Allianz arena, but it is Bayern Munich who come in with the aggregate advantage.
This Champions League semi-final encounter at the Santiago Bernebeu will be played after the encounter between Barcelona and Chelsea at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid have improved a lot from last season. Cristiano Ronaldo has been has been a sensational season in terms of scoring after he recently surpassed the 50 goal mark for the season. Only Lionel Messi has gathered more praise than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese scored during the weekend against Barcelona in the El Clasico. The 2-1 defeat of Barcelona gave Real Madrid a great opportunity to seal the title for the first time since 2008.
“I have watched Real Madrid in the Champions League, and they only use standard equipment. They are a great team and work efficiently, but are just normal. Then there is the incredible dimension that Barcelona operate in,” he said ahead of the match. It is likely to get a reaction from Real Madrid manager José Mourinho, who is under a lot of stress to deliver the 10th Champions League title for Real Madrid.
Mourinho recently said that there is no possibility of Real Madrid facing Chelsea in the Champions League final.
