200607 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Leg 2 of 2
Bayern Munich manager Ottmar Hitzfeld has promised to ignite fire in his team when they face Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on March 7, 2007. The first leg of the tie ended in a 2-2 draw, leaving the tie delicately poised ahead of the return fixture in Madrid.
Hitzfeld knows that his team will need to be at their best to overcome Real Madrid, who are one of the favorites to win the tournament. However, he is confident that his team can get the job done.
"We know that Real Madrid is a great team, but we are not afraid of them," Hitzfeld said. "We have a good team too, and we are confident that we can win in Madrid."
Bayern Munich will be without the suspended Franck Ribery for the second leg, but Hitzfeld is confident that his team can cope without the French winger.
"Ribery is a great player, but we have other players who can step up and fill his void," Hitzfeld said. "We are confident that we can win in Madrid."
