Bayern Munich scoring machine sends strong warning to Real Madrid: ‘We’re not afraid of anyone’ | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have sent a clear message ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League quarterfinal clash against Real Madrid. 

Despite already securing qualification with a commanding first-leg performance in Italy, the German giants showed no signs of slowing down, dismantling Atalanta 4-1 at the Allianz Arena to underline their intent.

At the centre of it all was Harry Kane, who continues to deliver at an extraordinary level this season. 

The England captain produced another clinical display, scoring twice and reaching a historic milestone in the process. 

His brace took him to 50 Champions League goals, making him the first English player to achieve that feat.

However, the challenge ahead is of a completely different magnitude. 

Real Madrid, synonymous with Champions League success, represent the ultimate test, something Kane is fully aware of.

“It will be a difficult match,” Kane said. 

“Whenever you face Real Madrid in the Champions League, you expect a tough battle. But we’ll be ready. We’re not afraid of anyone, even though it’s going to be difficult.”

Kompany shares the same sentiment

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany shared the same sentiment. For him, this is a clash of two institutions built on success and expectation.

Speaking about the upcoming encounter, Kompany emphasised the significance of the tie, saying, 

“Everything matters at both clubs,” the Belgian coach analysed. 

“It doesn’t matter which team is better right now. The history of both clubs, the talent on the field—that’s what makes it special.”

He also touched on the spectacle that awaits fans across the world, making it clear that both teams will be aiming not just to compete, but to deliver a memorable contest.

“We’re expecting a great game. I hope even the neutral fans will enjoy it. And, of course, in the end we want to win and advance,” he concluded.
