Munich: Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso insists his side will not be motivated by revenge when they face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League for the second time in five months today.
Bayern's dreams of a sixth European Cup title were brought to an end by Atletico at the semi-final stage last season, the German heavyweights tumbling out on away goals despite winning the second leg 2-1 at home.
The two sides have since been paired together in the group stages of this season's competition. Asked if there was a desire for revenge, Alonso said: "No, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. That's football. We couldn't do it last year.
"It will be a very difficult game, as always. We know them very well, they haven't changed too much with respect to last year." Alonso added. "I watched their game at Barcelona (1-1 draw) and saw the same Atletico as recent years. Competitive, united and well organised."
