Dani Carvajal admits Bayern Munich trio will be difficult to stop

The Real Madrid defender has been a part of five straight Champions League semi-finals with Real Madrid, but he sees a lot of difficulty in overcoming Bayern Munich.

In last season’s Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich battled to a 3-3 draw after 180 minutes of play, but two goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and one by Marco Asensio in the second half of extra time sealed the victory for Madrid. All three goals were scored after Arturo Vidal was unfairly sent off just before the start of extra time.

Dani Carvajal is well aware that Real Madrid face few true challengers in European play and that Bayern are more than worthy of being on the same pitch as them.

“Robben, Lewandowski, and Ribéry are so difficult to stop,” he said. “They are three very difficult players and it is complicated to stop them scoring and, in the end, with any chance they can score.”

Carvajal also showed his thanks for the opportunity to feature in the latter stages of the competition with such regularity since joining Real Madrid; with this being his fifth semi-final in succession.

“I am lucky that every year I have been able to reach the semi-finals since I have been here,” the Spaniard stated. “Every year has a special feeling, and this year, considering the competition from our rivals, we are happy and looking forward to the match.

“Nothing is impossible, we are going to fight for it,” the right-back added, “We are working, and if we have achieved two, why are we not going to go for that third? We are still hungry to win the Champions League, and we will keep our feet on the ground and face the semi-finals with great enthusiasm.”
