Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is expecting to walk into "hell" when his side face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu this week.

Bayern hold a narrow 2-1 lead from Tuesday's first-leg in the Champions League semi-final, with Mario Gomez netting the winner in the 90th minute. Real are favourites to progress to the final with their stellar home form and the fact that they beat Barcelona at the weekend and will be full of confidence heading into the clash. Bayern have themselves enjoyed a decent season domestically but fell short of winning the Bundesliga title, with Borussia Dortmund landing the spoils in Germany. But now Rummenigge has turned his attentions to Europe and admits that it will be far from easy to get the right result in the Spanish capital. "We have great respect for Real, but no fear, even if we are expecting hell in the Bernabeu stadium," he said. "The last-minute goal has given us a small chance, but it will be incredibly difficult." "We have to concentrate fully and put a tight performance in defence."
