Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany believes Real Madrid is capable of making a comeback against his team in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, but he rejected the idea of limiting the Spanish club's history solely to 'remontada stories' (comeback stories), distinguishing them from other clubs.

The Belgian said in a pre-match press conference: "There must be balance in the analysis. This is our mentality. We have full respect for Real Madrid, and we always prepare to face the best version of their team."

He continued: "I believe they are in a phase of development, and they are still among the best in Europe. I don't see 'remontada stories' as unique. They are stories of other clubs, such as Barcelona, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich."

He then added: "Every club can tell these stories when they achieve an exceptional feat. I believe in Real Madrid when they think they can make a comeback, but I want to win. Nothing will affect me before the match."

It is worth noting that Bayern Munich will host Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena tomorrow, Wednesday (20:00 GMT+1), with the advantage of having won the first leg away 2-1.
