Bayern Munich\u2019s forward Thomas Muller says Wednesday\u2019s Champions League semifinal clash against Real Madrid can be anyone\u2019s game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bayern and Madrid enthralled fans with an entertaining 2 -2 draw at the Allianz Arena last Tuesday. With none of the two sides going into the game with any scoreline advantage, Muller believes the tie is there to be won by both teams.<\/p>\n

The veteran speaking ahead of the encounter in a press conference believes even though tiny margins can decide the game, both teams stand a chance of qualifying.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be an even game, on a knife\u2019s edge. A lot in football comes down to being clinical. We also had two big chances in the second half against Stuttgart when it was 1-1. If you put chances away, you win. If not, you lose. That\u2019s what it\u2019ll come down to. It\u2019s about millimetres, whether we\u2019re clinical and can take them in the moments where we create our chances. That\u2019s it,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Muller however was quick to acknowledge the threat Madrid posed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of sides to Real. They can drop back, have no problem also defending. But they know that they have excellent players on the counter. That concept has been seen to work enough times. It\u2019s no coincidence that they\u2019ve constantly been in the semi-finals in recent years. Real are so dangerous, but you can also play against them. Whether they\u2019re beatable for us will be decided by whether we can put the ball away or not,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

Both teams will be aiming to advance to the finals; Madrid aiming to secure their 15th Champions League title and Bayern seeking their seventh when they take to the pitch on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In their previous semi-final encounter in the Champions League, Real Madrid clinched a 4-3 aggregate victory before ultimately lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n
