Bayern's head coach Jupp Heynckes admitted that he had a good feeling ahead of the first match of the semi-final of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

"This is the semi-final of the Champions League, only the strongest remained in the ranks. Liverpool and Roma are clubs that have beaten up two favorites for Manchester City and Barcelona. We respect all the rival clubs and their players, "Heinkes said..

"I did not change my style of management team. We have a lot of different players with different characters. I think this is one of my strongest points - the ability to lead these players. Even a 36-year-old player needs to be directed, praised, encouraged. We have a fantastic atmosphere and strong team spirit in the team. Only with this attitude can you achieve victory, and this inspires me with optimism. Thanks to a determined attitude, you can turn mountains ".

"Big clubs must somehow cope with the trauma of such important players as Vidal. This is a world-class football player. The situation is offensive, because he dreams of winning the Champions League. The team will fight for it ".

"I can not name the favorites, but I have a good feeling. I have excellent memories of the Champions League, for example, about the 1998 match in Amsterdam against Juventus. It was a fantastic feeling: the final whistle sounds, and for the first time in 32 years, Real Madrid became the champion of Europe ".

"In due time I confronted fantastic trainers, such as Johan Cruyff and Marcelo Lippi. As for Zinedine Zidane, I really like how Real Madrid plays under his leadership ".

"Cristiano has an incredible career. We analyze all our rivals so that we can beat them. We have Robert Lewandowski in the squad, who have already scored 38 goals, so we need to ask who will stop him? ".

The first match of the semi-finals of the Champions League between Bayern and Real Madrid will be held on Wednesday, April 25. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
