Spanish sides foiled Bayern in their last two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, but UEFA.com's Philip Röber feels Josep Guardiola can break that spell.
However, defeats by Spanish opponents in successive semi-finals have given Josep Guardiola's side cause for trepidation, and they go into their first leg against Atlético having won only two of their last 12 games on Spanish soil.
Statistics may not tell the whole story, though. Those losses – to Real Madrid in 2014 and Barcelona last time out – were perhaps rooted in Bayern's injury problems at the time, and in both cases their opponents had the greater motivation, having won the UEFA Champions League less recently than the German champions.
