The Real Madrid player's comments are a sign of the fierce encounter against Bayern Munich set to take place next week.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: The tie is already heating up

Real Madrid would once again meet one of their familiar foes, Bayern Munich, in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg scheduled for the 7th of April and the second leg on the 15th of April.

Following the international break, Los Blancos would face Mallorca on an away trip this weekend, as Alvaro Arbeloa would like to take a closer look at his players before the big test against the German side.

Since their defeat on penalties in the 2011/12 season against Bayern in the semi-final of the elite European competition, The Whites are yet to lose against the Bavarian side, and interestingly, every time the two sides have faced off in the knockout stages since then, Los Blancos have gone on to lift the iconic trophy.

Despite the fixture's competitive nature, there have been cordial relations between the two legendary clubs, but there has always been a healthy rivalry among the players of the two teams.

It seems Los Merengues' Eduardo Camavinga would face his international teammates Dayot Upamecano and Michael Olise during the two-legged tie shortly after sharing the same dressing room during the international matches.

Camavinga has recently revealed about a warning which he has seemingly issued to Olise as the Real Madrid midfielder admitted during an interview with ESPN (h/t FCB Inside) saying, "I told my friend Olise: ‚We're friends at the moment, but in two weeks' time, if I have to kill you, I will kill you',"

Of course, this should be taken only as banter between the two French players, although one can be pretty sure that players from both clubs wouldn't hold anything back when it comes to performing at their highest levels, despite being pitted against their international colleagues.

Although the two players in discussion might not be playing for their current teams next season, as Camavinga could be on his way out of the Bernabeu in search of more first-team football elsewhere.

Whereas Olise, on the other hand, is rumored to be a key Madrid target for the upcoming summer transfer window, and this month's UCL tie could well be viewed as an audition for the French winger at his future home.

Despite the team's current form and an international break with no injuries, Arbeloa and his men cannot afford to be complacent as they continue their quest for a record 16th Champions League trophy.
