Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Analysis
Real Madrid Preview
It has been another professional campaign on the field for Real Madrid, as the Spanish side are on course for a league and European double. The UCL team stats show that they have been one of the most consistent teams in the competition this term after finishing top of the UCL standings before Christmas.
However, the recent Real scores in the competition have been slightly more worrying. They come into this match after playing out draws in each of their last four, which includes a 2-2 tie against Bayern Munich in last week’s first leg.
But, Real have still been very challenging to beat throughout this season’s edition of the Champions League after going eleven without a loss.
Real Madrid have also progressed from 17 of their last 18 ties after avoiding defeat in the first leg. Their only loss that Real suffered at the hands of Ajax, with the second leg taking place at the Bernabeu.
Bayern Munich Preview
The Bayern roster would have been disappointed with their first leg outcome against Real last week, as they looked in complete control going into the final ten minutes. However, defensive mistakes ultimately cost them the chance of landing a victory.
Bayern conceded the second goal at the Allianz Arena from the penalty spot, meaning that they will need to record a rare away win against Real to progress to the Champions League final this week.
The German side have a poor defensive record against Los Blancos after failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 matches against their rivals. Those poor UCL player stats would be a major concern this week. Their most recent clean sheet was in May 2001.
However, Thomas Tuchel could make some history this week, as he chases a third final appearance with a third different club. His only victory in two previous appearances in the final was achieved with Chelsea.
