Di Maria warns of Dortmund danger

The Argentine winger believes the Spanish power will be once again subjected to an arduous 90 minutes in Germany in this week's Champions League semifinal first leg.
Angel di Maria has warned that Real Madrid will need to be at the top of its game to overcome Borussia Dortmund in Wednesday's Champions League clash.

Los Blancos travel to Signal Iduna Park this week as their quest for La Decima intensifies, but the Argentina winger has warned that Jurgen Klopp's side is likely to pose a significant threat - just as it did during the group stage.

"We have two very important matches against Borussia Dortmund and we know it will not be easy. We struggled against them in the group stage and I believe that it will be the same this time," Di Maria told the club's official website. "They are a very similar team to us, with a very strong counterattack, and they are also on a good run of form. We have to do things at 100 percent to get through the tie."

Meanwhile, the Argentine also praised Madrid's German duo of Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira, and believes the midfield stars' development is key to their future success.

"They have both improved tremendously and have developed well in every way. They are both playing the best football of their careers so far," Di Maria said. "Sami is doing really well and the coach really acknowledges that. Mesut is getting a lot of assists and both of them are vital to us."
