Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Analysis
Bayern Munich Preview
Thomas Tuchel has already been put out of his misery after the decision has been made to replace the German at the end of the season. However, the manager will be looking to reach a third final with a different team after previously winning the Champions League with Chelsea.
Bayern’s overall recent record in this fixture is a concern, as they are winless in their last seven against Real, with six defeats having been inflicted over that period. That is their longest winless run against a single opponent in European history.
However, after topping the UCL standings before Christmas, it could be argued that the best performances by these Bayern players have come in Europe. Further evidence of that can be found in the previous round.
Bayern were massive outsiders to progress against Arsenal, but they struck the only goal of the game in reverse showdown in Munich in mid-April to secure their place in this stage. There are also no fresh UCL injuries to report.
Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid are looking to end the season with a league and European double this term. Los Blancos already appear to have one hand on the La Liga title. Meaning that their biggest challenges between now and the end of the season will come in Europe.
The UCL team stats show that Real have recorded victories in each of their last three away matches against Bayern. This is their longest ever winning record in away matches against their German rivals.
The record on the Madrid schedule also deserves a lot of respect, as they have gone ten without a defeat. Real have recorded seven victories across those matches, with two of their three draws coming in the previous round against Man City.
However, their experience eventually told against the reigning champions, with the UCL player stats showing that Real were more effective with less of the ball. Real eventually booked their spot in the final four following a penalty shootout against Man City.
