Bayern will not be afraid of Real Madrid, says Demichelis

The Argentine feels that the Bundesliga club have every chance of getting a result at the Santiago Bernabeu, and has advised them to press high up the pitch Former  Bayern Munich  defender Martin Demichelis believes that the Bavarians have a good chance of reaching the Champions League final. Bayern beat  Real Madrid  2-1 at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of their semi-final tie, and the current Malaga centre-back feels they can cause an upset at the Santiago Bernabeu if they play their own game on Wednesday. "The Real Madrid forwards aren't so keen on defending, so the FCB defenders and midfielders will get time on the ball. That's the platform for them to try their luck up front. In my opinion, Bayern have a good chance of making the final," Demichelis said to the official Bayern website. "I'm expecting Bayern to be confident and unafraid, even though Real are very good at home. But they've generally conceded a goal i...

Real Madrid will be gripped by fear if Barcelona win the Clasico, argues Morientes

The ex-Blancos striker suspects that his old side will crack under the pressure if their one-time 10-point advantage is reduced to a solitary point on Saturday night Former  Real Madrid  hitman Fernando Morientes believes that a victory for  Barcelona  in this weekend's Clasico would strike fear into the hearts of Los Blancos. The now-retired striker's old club go into the game at Camp Nou with a four-point advantage in hand over their Catalan arrivals, meaning Jose Mourinho's men will still be on top of the table regardless of the result. However, Morientes feels that the balance of power will shift dramatically in favour of the Blaugrana if they triumph on Saturday night given they were 10 points adrift as recently as last month. "If Barca win they will fill Madrid with fear in their bodies, because in just a short time they will have seen their 10-point cushion [dramatically] reduced," the former Spain international is quoted as sa...

The experienced shot-stopper thinks that his side's success in the league is not guaranteed, while saying Mourinho's men deserved a better result against Valencia Real Madrid  captain  Iker Casillas  has admitted that his side may end up not winning La Liga. Sunday's goalless draw against Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu has left Madrid four points above Barcelona, less than a month after they were 10 points clear at the summit. "I believe Madrid could lose La Liga, because Barcelona are also fighting and we have not won anything," Casillas told reporters after the stalemate versus Los Che. "We have never said that we had won it [already]. "Our rivals also have a lot to play for and we cannot solely live off being eight or 10 points ahead." The 30-year-old goalkeeper then conceded that Madrid deserved a better result against Valencia and noted that he did not expect to see his side held to a draw. ...

Argentina's Sabella: They should invent a new word to describe Messi

The national team trainer has declared that a new term should be invented for the Barcelona star as the world runs out of superlatives for the three-time Ballon d'Or winner Argentina  coach  Alejandro Sabella  believes  Lionel Messi  is so good that he deserves his own word to describe his undoubted talent. The diminutive attacker has been in superb form this season and has so far scored an incredible 58 goals in all competitions this term. Messi also has a total of 22 goals for Argentina since making his international debut in 2005, and Sabella was full of praise for his star player. "The Royal Academy of Spain should invent a word to define him [Lionel Messi] exactly. For me, as his coach, it is a privilege to direct him," he said in an interview with  Radio Sport Telam . Despite being crowned Ballon d'Or winner for the past three years, his international performances have come under scrutiny at times, and Sabella attempted to e...

However, all four teams can reach the final.  "Am I tired of these mind games? No they are a part of the job." Guardiola then looked ahead to the semi-final against Chelsea, and stressed t...

Penalty calls were correct & Barcelona deserve to be in the semis, says Guardiola

The Catalan coach has insisted that his side were deservedly awarded two spot-kicks during their Champions League quarter-final win against Milan Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has launched a staunch defence of his side, with criticism mounting in from some quarters after the Blaugrana were awarded two penalties during their 3-1 win over AC Milan in their Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash at Camp Nou. Referee Bjorn Kuipers’ decision to give the Catalans a pair of spot-kicks in the match has already attracted its fair share of controversy, with Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic claiming a Uefa conspiracy to put Barcelona in the final. However, a defiant Guardiola has maintained that both calls were fully warranted. "We didn't complain on penalties on the first leg. The replays show that it was a penalty both times. When you're holding the shirt of a player in the box, it’s a penalty. I’ve been taught this since I was ...
