At 03:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 1, the Champions League semi-final round will stage a much-anticipated peak showdown, with the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid as a guest to challenge Bayern Munich, the southern king of the Bundesliga.
The overall strength of the two teams is in between, with Real Madrid ranking third in the club value list with a total value of 1.04 billion euros, and Bayern Munich ranking fifth in the club value list with a total value of 929 million euros. Judging from the past records of the two teams, it is also difficult to distinguish, the data shows that Real Madrid has encountered Bayern in the last 8 times, 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, only a slight psychological advantage. Therefore, Real Madrid really encountered a difficult bone this time, and the outcome of this game is really difficult to predict.
The only thing that makes Real Madrid have a little psychological comfort is that Bayern's form has been up and down this season, but he has overcome obstacles and is invincible, and in the previously concluded Champions League 1|4 finals, he eliminated Manchester City, the biggest favorite to win the championship. Therefore, as long as Real Madrid can play the recent normal form, there is still great hope for Bayern to take the lead in this game. Here's a quick prediction of Real Madrid's likely starting line-up for this game.
In the goalkeeper position, it is natural that Lunin will continue to guard the Real Madrid goal, and on the back line, it is not surprising that An Shuai will continue to offer a more stable back four formation, and the four defenders who are expected to start are Fran Garcia, Militão, Rudiger and the decorated veteran Carvajal. Militão and Antonio Rudiger will continue to play in a two-centre-back pairing, while Fran Garcia and Carvajal will play at wing-back.
In terms of midfield, there is no doubt that the main midfielder responsible for interceptions and tackles in Real Madrid's midfield will still be the French demon star Tchouameni, and the German veteran Tony Kroos should be partnered with Tchouameni to form a double midfield combination. In front of the two midfielders, it is expected that the two new and old midfield cores, Luka Modric and Bellingham, will come together to form Real Madrid's strongest attacking duo, feeding the ball and delivering cannonballs for Real Madrid's forward line.
In the forward line, it is not surprising that it is the Brazilian star Vinicius who charges for Real Madrid in the front, and the attacking combination with Vinicius should be Spain's frustrated striker Brahim Dias. Rodrigo is out injured and out of action.
Based on the above analysis, the final expected starting lineup of Real Madrid for this Champions League semi-final away game against Bayern is: Lunin, Fran Garcia, Militão, Rudiger, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Toni Kroos, Modric, Bellingham, Vinicius, Brahim Dias
