Bayern coach Pep Guardiola spoke with great respect to the next rival team in the Champions League. Bayern in the semifinals meet Atletico Madrid and many of them have designated as favorites even before the battles, but the specialist refrain from such definitions.
"For quite some time after a short leash Spanish championship and I'm aware that local teams are put firmly in tournaments. All talk only about Madrid and Barcelona, but forget about Atletico and I know what is the class of this team."
"For me, Atletico is in the same class as the other two giants of Spain. Yes, Barcelona is the best team in the last ten years, but Atletico managed to eliminate them twice in the last three years."
"That should be proof enough that the draw is extremely hard for us. I hope my boys to be healthy for these two matches and make interesting and healthy collisions," said Guardiola.
