Bayern winger confident of reaching semi-finals

Arjen Robben is confident Bayern Munich can overcome Manchester United in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. United are looking to reach a third consecutive final and are among the favourites to lift the trophy in Madrid after another impressive campaign. Wayne Rooney has grabbed many of the headlines for his scintillating form in recent months but Robben knows that United are strong in all areas. The Dutch winger has plenty of experience of facing United following a spell with Chelsea earlier in his career and is relishing the challenge of trying to knock them out of Europe. He believes Bayern have shown this season that they are once again a force to be reckoned with in continental competition. "People talk about Rooney but United are not all about him," Robben told The Sun. "At Chelsea, I got important wins against United. It will be like a final. "Bayern has increased its power in Europe, this season could be sensational."
