Pep Guardiola said he feels sorry for Real Madrid
star Cristiano Ronaldo after Bayern Munich saw off Benfica to book a spot in
the Champions League semifinals.
After his hat trick guided Madrid to the final
four at the expense of Wolfsburg on Tuesday, Portugal captain Ronaldo said he
preferred to face Benfica in the semis.
But Guardiola and Co. had other ideas as
Wednesday's 2-2 draw in Portugal ensured a 3-2 aggregate victory for Bayern.
"I know Cristiano Ronaldo wanted Benfica in
the semifinals. I am sorry for him," Guardiola said. "It's normal
that Ronaldo would have wanted to play Benfica as he is Portuguese. Manchester
City is a possibility, so are Real Madrid and Atletico.
"We are happy to be here and will play
anyone".
