Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has a laser focus ahead of his club’s Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid.
“Real Madrid are extremely dangerous in transition and have a high level of individual quality. We have to have confidence in ourselves and show that we want to reach the final,” Freund said (as captured by kicker’s Georg Holzner via @iMiaSanMia).
With the potential for both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to make it through to the finale, Freund let himself dream about it for just a second.
“A German final in Wembley would be a dream. But both teams still have big tasks to complete,” said Freund.
Before anyone can even start dreaming, a meeting in Madrid is on tap. Hopefully, it will not be remembered as a nightmare.
