Bayern Munich defender Rafinha claims that Germans have more chances to reach the Champions League final, but in the semi-final stage, Atletico Madrid team can show some unpleasant surprises.
"I think Bayern is always the favorite in the matches.
Of course, Atletico is a great team that has been demonstrating high-level play in recent seasons, and we are expecting tough matches," said the 30-year-old Brazilian.
"We lost to Spanish clubs (Real and Barcelona) last year and the year before, so I hope the third time's the charm.
We will try to reach the final that we all dream of," Rafinha spoke.
"Atletico's main weapon is their defensive style and work ethic. Their path in the Champions League resembles the matches of the Libertadores Cup - something unique. Coach Simeone has done a great job and has been very successful recently."
