Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has the utmost respect for Real Madrid.
When push comes to shove, though, Hainer really likes his team’s chances vs. anyone — not just Los Blancos. That said, Hainer knows better than to count out a very talented Real Madrid side.
“I think it’s a good position to go into the second leg with a win in Madrid. But of course, we absolutely mustn’t take it lightly: Real Madrid didn’t win the Champions League five times in the last ten years for nothing. We’re playing
in our Allianz Arena and we can count on our fans – they were fantastic in Madrid, too. And there’s one thing I’m particularly counting on: We’ll play great football,” Hainer told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Each team has reasons to be confident for this matchup. For the Bavarians, though, this would represent getting back over the hump and taking down a true giant in a Champions League for the first time since 2020, It would truly be a chance for Bayern Munich to plant its flag once again as a primary contender for Champions League glory.
