Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has said that his side are ready to take on Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The German champions will host the Spanish giants in the first leg at the Allianz Arena later this month, before travelling to the Catalan city for the second leg at Camp Nou the following week.

"Bayern versus Barcelona - giants are meeting in the Champions League," ESPN quotes Heynckes as saying.

"It will be huge task for us playing against this team, who have been enthusing and also dominating European football with their imaginative and creative football for the past for years.

"I have always got good results against them with my team in Spain, for instance with Athletic Bilbao I beat them twice in Barcelona. I am looking forward to two magic football nights."

In the other semi-final, Real Madrid will take on Borussia Dortmund.
