Wagner: 'Bayern don't need to hide from Ronaldo'
Bayern München striker Sandro Wagner says he's looking forward to facing Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Bayern München striker Sandro Wagner praises Cristiano Ronaldo, but also says the German champions shouldn't fear the Real Madrid star when the two sides meet in the Champions League semi-final.
"Ronaldo scores so many goals it’s amazing! I don’t even have that many goals in training. I think it’s great. I like people like that. It’s fun. It would be boring if we were all the same," Wagner told Bundesliga.com.
"He’s an incredibly good player, and I’m glad that we’ll face him twice. However, our defence is brutally strong. We have the best defence in Europe, so we don’t need to hide," he added.
The first leg will be played on April 25 at the Allianz Arena, and the second leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu will be played six days later, on May 1.
