Bayern were paired with Getafe in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

Beckenbauer was quoted as saying that he only knew there was a club called Getafe, once coached by Bernd Shuster.

The German legend even expressed astonishment that Michael Laudrup was their manager.

And Contra was furious in a press conference held after Beckenbauer's comments were published.

"It is unfortunate that Beckenbauer said that," the Romanian said.

"We have international players, whom are known in the world of football.

"But may be Beckenbauer will know us when we beat Bayern and qualify to the semi-finals."
