Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes Bayern Munich have been handed the
toughest possible Champions League draw against Real Madrid, a side he
considers to be the best in Europe.
Madrid are the reigning European champions having won the title for
an 11th time last May, and the Bayern chairman does not believe the
Bundesliga giants could have been given a more difficult task.
However, Rummenigge is confident Bayern will be as well-equipped as
they possibly can with former Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti in their
dugout.
"With Carlo Ancelotti on the bench we can be confident in our biggest
challenge this season so far; the Champions League quarter-finals
against Real Madrid," he told Bayern's club magazine.
"When Ian Rush made the draw, we already knew the title holder would be the most difficult challenge of all opponents.
"If you ask me for the ultimate ranking of European football, I still
say that Real Madrid are number one. Real are a myth, the whole world
knows the Blancos and gushes about them."
