On loan Madrid Midfielder James Rodriguez is convinced that Bayern Munich knows how to play his parent club, Real Madrid.
Ahead of the first leg on April 25, James told TZ: "We shouldn't see the games as revenge for last year, but as two games en route to the final.
"Real Madrid put in a different chip in the Champions League compared to LaLiga to get the very best out of themselves.
"They know what it [takes] to fight for the cup every year, but Bayern don't need to hide. History shows that Bayern knows how to play against Real Madrid.
"When you come this far in a competition the opponent nearly doesn't matter anymore. Real Madrid, Liverpool and Roma are difficult opponents.
"You have to go to your limit to progress. It is important that we stay calm, believe in ourselves and play two good games. That's all I want."
