Mourinho claimed tonight he had no worries about the intimidating atmosphere his side are likely to face in Munich, and also insisted he had faith in the English referee Howard Webb.

"UEFA handle security very well and I'm sure they'll have firefighters around to put out the hell we may experience in Munich,'' the Madrid boss said.

"We should only focus on playing the game and Webb on officiating it. Bayern will play from the heart, but they also play good football. They have good players and the match, though tactical, will be good.''

He added: "Webb is a solid referee with great experience in this sort of game. We just expect him to do a good job and to make the right decisions. Our players will help in everything they can, but sometimes dubious penalties are awarded and may cost a team a defeat.''

Mourinho admitted Bayern will fancy their chances of making the final.

"The greatest praise for a team is to say it plays like a true team, and that's what I think of Bayern Munich,'' the Portuguese added.

"I think they are a great side with some players who are more special than others, like in all other great teams. Bayern are an excellent side that grew under (former coach Louis) van Gaal some time ago and that plays phenomenal football now under Heynckes. They have the right to believe they'll reach the final.''

Match

Today na today. Hala madrid.

I just hope Webb wil do the needful and monitor UFC fighters like Pepe and co. As for dubious penalty I know Madrid will get it 4rm diver maria. I wish them luck

I pray Madrid goes thru 2 d Final, So dey can suffer a humiliating defeat @ the hands of Barcelona. And Then, we can enjoy eternal braggin rights.
Forza Barca

Mourinho
"I haven't made any changes at the club. I've just helped change, with the help of the players, the fact that Real Madrid hadn't reached this far in the Champions League for many years, and this is our second consecutive semifinal and we've only lost one of our last 22 games in the competition. We have to take a step further to reach the final."

"The greatest praise for a team is to say it plays like a true team, and that's what I think of Bayern Munchen. I think they are a great side with some players who are more special than others, like on all other great teams. Bayern are an optimum side that grew with Van Gaal some time ago and that plays phenomenal football now with Heynckes. They have the right to believe they'll reach the final."

"I have no doubts regarding the lineup I'll use tomorrow. I know who will play, who will be on the bench and who will watch the game from the stands. I've worked a lot on this match and I have no doubts. I usually like to be sure about the lineup before going to sleep the night before a match. I've already made my decision."

"Webb is a solid referee with great experience in this sort of game. We just expect him to do a good job and to make the right decisions. Our players will help in everything they can, but sometimes dubious penalties are awarded and may cost a team a defeat."

"I will not reveal anything regarding the lineup. I am well aware of who Kaka is and of his good performances in Champions League matches. It wouldn't be intelligent on my part not to use a player with such virtues. I count on Lass this season and the next. He wasn't called-up for the clash against Valencia and was free to do whatever he wanted."

"Equalling the goal record in La Liga isn't what's most important to me, but it is a beautiful thing and it proves the team wants to give spectacle and win every game. Let's hope this translates into winning a title this season."

"The opinion of men of football is more important than mine. Hoeness, Beckenbauer and others believe they are favourites and that we will be weary of them. We'll see what happens tomorrow."

"Numbers from previous meetings between both sides say nothing to me. Bayern have the motivation of maybe playing the final at their stadium and we're motivated to be in the semifinals a second straight year. I'm not worried about what happened between both teams in the past."

"UEFA handle security very well and I'm sure they'll have firefighters around to put out the hell we may experience in Munich. We should only focus on playing the game and Webb on officiating it. Bayern will play from the heart, but they also play good football. They have good players and the match, though tactical, will be good."

Cnt wait 4 dis match.... Wnt madrid τ̲̅ȍ win dis UCL....

He has started putting pressure on match officials.i know he is going to blame Barcelona for bribing UEFA if they eventually losses tonight.i do hope Webb will be courage enough to do his job.lack of discipline will cause Madrid this game,but i am positive they will make it to the finals.the game is going be decided in the second leg.

madrid will beat this bayern home and away.

A must watch.

I would have loved for Madrid to get to the finals because they are always our usual client. But too bad, I cnt see them going past Bayern, they chicken out against big teams.

Prayer points:
(1) God, let PHCN switch on electric power for me to watch this match.

in bayern munich i support.go Gustavo and Robben. ;Din bayern munich i support.go Gustavo and Robben.

bayern doesn't have the arsenal to contain or defene our ferocious attacking frontliners. Di maria, Ronaldo, benzema, Özil are all hungry attackers that can mesmerise any defence.
Robben and Ribery are threats to our defence too, my fear is our weak link..Gittery Arbeloa, just too soft for a right back, a weaklin, i hope mourinho opts for lassana diara, though that one too has got poor discipline. We surely need a solid right-back next season.

I see a munich versus chelsea final.

ojubi: I see a munich versus chelsea final.

Though in me, I would prefare Barca-Munich final.
