Bayern are having an exceptional season, both from results and style of football perspective. We’re facing the most in-form team in Europe at the moment. We know the challenge they’ll pose on the pitch.

Our history with Bayern is always special. The Bernabéu is going to experience another great Champions League night,“ said Arbeloa (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). “The players know perfectly well what kind of match they have ahead of them.

I don’t have to warn them about anything. It’s a quarter-final against a team with a great history, and with a Bernabéu crowd roaring. I think we’re all aware of that.
