We saw what happened in the opening match in Munich. That was serious football. We expect nothing short in the second leg, even though Real is the favorite. Bayern showed it still has the quality to compete with any team in Europe even though they experienced one of their worst seasons in the last several decades. Both teams come into this event with high hopes, but only one will advance to the finals.

Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich Preview

Real Madrid

Los Blancos have kept their status of invincibility in Munich. It was their 19th in a row in which they hadn’t felt the taste of loss. But to be honest, they seemed like they weren’t going to attack the rivals with full power. Real was rational, sticking to its cautious game plan.

The future Spanish champions haven’t lost at home since the start of the campaign. They have only four draws and a whole lot of victories, mostly with two or more goals scored.

In the past four appearances at Bernabeu, Ancelotti’s gang hit the back of the rival’s net 12 times. And just to mention, the rivals were excellent teams, like Barca, Manchester City and Bilbao.

Bayern Munich

The game in Stuttgart didn’t matter too much for Tuchel and the boys, because pretty much everyone in Bayern was focused on the upcoming game vs. Real.

Previous road games were very efficient. Six of them until Stuttgart saw both teams netting over 3.5 goals, and Bayern allowed at least two hits in each one. Now, that tells too much about their defense.

In the moments of its biggest initiative in the first leg, Bayern allowed a goal. In situations when they pressure upfront, the back line is fragile, and that’s been the problem for Tuchel throughout the whole year.

Real’s invincibility at home is tough to disregard in situations like the current. Plus, Bayern isn’t playing well away from Allianz Arena, and when we combine these two, home team’s triumph here is the most logical solution.

Our verdict: Real Madrid wins
