Enrique acknowledges Bayern's phenomenal quality but insists it only adds to their motivation:
"Rafa Nadal once said that, at a certain stage of his career, matches against Federer and Djokovic became a true motivation for him, and that's exactly what we want: we have immense respect for Bayern, but that serves as a stimulus to be better.
