Jan-Christian Dreesen expressed immense confidence and excitement for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final showdown against long-time rivals Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has labeled the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid an “epic clash.” Following Bayern’s 10-2 aggregate demolition of Atalanta, Dreesen praised Vincent Kompany’s “professional performance” and the integration of academy talents. With the first leg set for Madrid, the executive is eager to overturn a decade of frustration against the Spanish giants to reach the semi-finals.
Addressing the historic rivalry, Dreesen emphasized the need for clinical execution and a touch of fortune. He stated: “FC Bayern versus Real Madrid is an epic clash. We’ll see what happens. We’ve gone out to them in the recent knockout meetings, often in unfortunate circumstances. It’s time to change that.” The club now enters the international break hoping to maintain a fully fit squad.
