Xabi Alonso claims that Real Madrid club must play perfectly if they want to win against Bayern Munich.
On Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final will take place, where the "whites" will face the Bavarians.
In 2012, such a semi-final had already taken place, and back then Bayern players eliminated the Spanish vice-champions after a penalty shootout.
"We are not thinking about what happened two years ago. Against Bayern, we need to play perfectly both in defense and attack.
This club is a serious test, but we will only aim for victory and a ticket to the final. We have played in the semi-finals for three years in a row now, and now it's time to take another step towards the title," X. Alonso said.
