​Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heyckes has called on the referee for ​tonight's game against Real Madrid, Cuneyt Cakir, to be objective, claiming that the result should be decided by the players and not the officials.





Last year, Bayern felt hard done by in their Champions League clash against Real Madrid where Arturo Vidal was sent off and Cristiano Ronaldo's goals appeared to be offside.





​Thomas Muller called for the r​eferee to not be intimidated by the Santiago Bernabeu and now, his manager has echoed his comments, claiming that the referee must not influence the outcome of the tie. Heyckes also added that his players are confident of completing the comeback, despite Real Madrid being their bogey team in recent seasons.

As reported by ​Marca, Heynckes said, "I hope the referee is objective and that the players are the ones who decide the game."





He continued, "It doesn't matter how many times we lost against Madrid because I was not the coach of Bayern. Tuesday is another game and these things don't matter. It will be a very difficult match for us, but also for Madrid. The atmosphere will be fiery, but I have players with a lot of experience and we want to get to the final. We can move mountains."





The 72-year-old also called on his side to be more efficient in front of goal. Last week's loss in Munich saw Bayern dominate but fail to make use of their chances.















Heynckes added, "We have to be more effective than the first leg. In Munich Real had three chances and scored two. We've scored a lot of goals during the season, it's our characteristic, and that's what's important. I have confidence in my staff and we have to find a balance, an inner peace, to know what needs to be done in each moment."
