- Former CEO urges Bayern not to celebrate Champions League win yet.
- Bayern won in Madrid for the first time in 25 years.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, former CEO of Bayern Munich, has advised the team against becoming overly euphoric after securing a 2-1 win against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. He emphasized that the tie is not yet decided and a repeat of past difficulties in Munich against Real Madrid should be considered.

Despite the warning, Rummenigge believes Bayern has the potential to win the Champions League, noting an atmosphere reminiscent of their 2020 success. He acknowledged the increasing difficulty of the competition, with potential semi-final opponents including PSG or Liverpool. He also praised goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, calling him a 'giant' and essential to the club's numerous titles over the past 15 years.
