Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal said on Friday that his German team is capable of beating anyone — even the mighty Barcelona in a Champions League final, if it gets that far.
“A final against Barcelona would be very nice,” the Dutchman told the Bild daily, fresh from seeing off Manchester United on Wednesday to set up a semi-final clash with top-flight French club Lyon.
“Out of 10 games (against Barcelona) maybe we’ll lose nine times, but it’s that one other that we’re looking at.
“I think we can beat anybody in one match.”
Bayern’s French star Franck Ribery said meanwhile that the Bavarian giants have a “good chance” of getting past Lyon to make it into a final against either Barca or Inter Milan in Madrid on May 22.
Bayern take on Lyon at home in the Allianz Arena on April 21, travelling to France for the second leg on April 27. Inter Milan host Barca on April 20 before the return match at Camp Nou eight days later.
