Bayern must be fearless against Real: Robben

Berlin: Arjen Robben says Bayern Munich can ill afford to show Real Madrid any fear if they want to avoid a second-straight Champions League exit against the Spaniards. Bayern host Real at Munich’s Allianz Arena in Wednesday’s blockbuster semi-final, first leg, in a repeat of last year’s quarter-final. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in each leg of the 2017 quarters, after Bayern had failed to capitalise on their chances at home, as Real won 6-3 on aggregate. “Last year we did not do well in the home game and played with a bit of fear,” said Robben. “That should not happen on Wednesday. We’ll be ready. They can also be vulnerable and we can go into the game with our heads high.”
