Zinedine Zidane: 'Real Madrid must play like never before against Bayern Munich'

Zidane: 'Madrid must play like never before'

Zinedine Zidane is wary of the threat Bayern Munich pose and insists that Real Madrid have plenty of work to do in the semi-final second leg next week.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has warned his players that nothing less than the perfect performance will suffice against Bayern Munich.

Los Blancos grabbed a 2-1 win in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tie last week and are now favourites to progress through to another final.

The back-to-back European champions have won five of the last six meetings between the two sides over the past seven seasons, leading to suggestions that Bayern do not have what it takes to overturn the narrow deficit.

Zidane is not so sure, however, and insists that Madrid must go above and beyond if they are to get the job done at the Bernabeu on Tuesday evening.

"They will come without complexes, I tell you. We are going to take part in a huge match," he told reporters. "I ask my people to play like they have never done in their history, because we are going to need them to reach the final.

"I don't know if what happened to us against Juventus [in the quarter-finals] and Bayern last year helps us. We have to play a huge match.

"We have to be as good as ever to be able to qualify. We are prepared and have great determination. We will play our game of the year."

Madrid beat Leganes 2-1 on Saturday evening in a match that left Zidane 'angered' at full time.
