Inter Milan Legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “Nerazzurri & Bayern Munich Are Equally Huge Clubs, Germans Have Slight Midfield Advantage” | OneFootball

Former Inter Milan and Bayern Munich midfielder Karl-Heinz Rummenigge forward has looked ahead to the Champions League meeting between the two clubs in April.

The ex-West Germany international began his career at Bayern and enjoyed a hugely successful spell in the Bundesliga, before joining Inter in 1984 and making 107 appearances across three seasons.

Now back at Bayern in a boardroom role, Rummenigge reflected on his time in Italy in an interview with German television broadcaster BR24 Sport, and as reported by FCInterNews.it, whilst assessing the impending clash between his two former clubs.

“It was a pleasure to play for Inter because the atmosphere there is truly fantastic,” Rumminegge said of his spell at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

“We have to play two good games against Inter. We will need maximum concentration, great respect and also a pinch of humility if we want to reach the semi-finals,” he continued.

The two-time Ballon d’Or winner then looked at the difficulties Bayern were likely to face when coming up against Inter, identifying that whilst the Bavarians had a better midfield there was significant threat in attack.

“Inter have an international stature, similar to Bayern Munich. Defensively they are very strong, while in midfield we have a slight advantage.

“In attack there are two great players in Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram who can always cause problems,” he concluded.
