Real Madrid attacker Vini Jr says they can be happy with their draw at Bayern Munich.

Vini Jr scored twice as Real drew 2-2 in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal.

He later said: "We always want to win, but we know what this competition is like and you can't give the ball away. Both teams have plenty of quality and we're going to score the chances we have. It's never easy and we have to keep calm and rest until the next game. We know that we and the fans are going to give our all in the next game at the Bernabu."

On Toni Kroos' pass, he said: You have to stay focused for these balls. Kroos always makes things very easy and he set me up for a goal. I'm also happy with the team's defensive work. We have to improve, but if we continue like this we can win at home.

We train together so much, I know Kroos very well and he knows me very well. I'm delighted to be able to score two goals. Now it's time for a magical night at home."

He added: In this competition it's important not to lose. We're here because we haven't lost yet. We have to continue to do great things and get Real Madrid where they deserve to be, which is in the final."
