Bayern Munich attacker Mario Gomez has claimed that the Bavarian outfit have what it takes to compete with Real Madrid and added that his side are even ahead of the Spanish giants in some areas.

"Real Madrid are certainly one of the biggest teams in the sporting aspect of the game. However, overall, I think Bayern Munich can compete with Madrid," Gomez was quoted as saying by Bild.

"I think that Bayern are even ahead of Real Madrid when it comes to everything off the pitch."

Gomez added that he has felt comfortable at Bayern ever since he joined the club from Stuttgart and that he never had the desire to leave the club on a permanent basis.

He continued: "I've always felt very well at Bayern. When I was linked with a move away from the club last summer, I only wanted to leave on a temporary basis to get regular first team action elsewhere. I'm extremely happy that I eventually decided to stay put."

Gomez has been in superb form for Bayern this season and has already scored 19 Bundesliga goals so far.
