Martín Demichelis wants to shake up his team after the debacle in Munich and is calling for a different mindset. “We have a big game ahead of us tomorrow at the Bernabéu, and we’ll need to be fully focused. It’s important for us, after the loss, to stay alert and play our game with courage and character. We’ll try to impose our style of play,” said Martín Demichelis ahead of this Wednesday’s Champions League match (9:00 p.m./DAZN) at Real Madrid, emphasizing: “Madrid’s attack will be very dangerous.” RB captain David Raum is also aware of the difficulty of the situation. “After the 6–1 loss, morale was at rock bottom at first, but the next day we were already talking it over among ourselves. We’re all at a point where we know what went wrong. Tomorrow we have the chance to show a different side,” said RB captain David Raum, adding: “There were several issues that didn’t go right. Our intensity wasn’t there, and our game plan depends on that.” The return of Christoph Baumgartner after more than four months out with a thigh muscle injury also offers hope. The Austrian national team player completed the full training regimen during the final session at the training academy on Cottaweg in Leipzig and could therefore be an option off the bench for the Champions League match.
