Juan Bernat hails Barcelona attack

Bayern Munich defender Juan Bernat praises the strength of Barcelona's attack ahead of the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Bayern Munich defender Juan Bernat has admitted that "Barcelona are nearly unstoppable going forward" ahead of the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Allianz.

Bernat saw Barca's quality first hand last week when his Bayern team were beaten 3-0 in the first leg of their semi-final.

The former Valencia defender has conceded that it will be tough in the return on Tuesday and has called on his side to adopt a high-pressing game in Munich.

"Barcelona are nearly unstoppable going forward at the moment," Bernat is quoted as saying by TZ. "Their three attackers in particular have been in sublime form. We will have to make sure to keep a close eye on them.

"With players such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, who are all very strong individually, you should always have some sort of extra safety net.

"You cannot afford to give them any space, they need only very little room to create something and become dangerous. We can only succeed if we don't give them any time to think."

Bernat joined Bayern from Valencia last summer.
