At 03:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 1, 2024, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Bayern will face Real Madrid at home. At that time, the CCTV sports channel will broadcast this game live, fans and friends who like the Champions League, don't miss this focus battle. Below I will give some brief analysis of this game.
Bayern Munich, whose hopes of winning the league have been dashed, have been in good form recently, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the last round of the Bundesliga to make it four wins in a row in all competitions. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel, who has led Paris and Chelsea to the Champions League final twice, hopes to lead the Champions League to redeem himself and leave Bayern Munich with dignity. Bayern leading goalscorer Harry Kane has naturally become a trump card in Tuchel's hands, and the England striker has already helped Bayern Munich to 42 goals this season. In this game, Kane will go head-to-head with another England star, Jude Bellingham.
Real Madrid won 1-0 away at Real Sociedad in their most recent league game and still hold an 11-point lead at the top of the league table. In the match against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid made a certain rotation of the squad to prepare for this game. Real Madrid are unbeaten in 24 consecutive league games, and it is worth mentioning that Carlo Ancelotti has won the Champions League four times in Milan and Real Madrid, and has beaten Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel in many aspects of Champions League experience and line-up. He also coached Bayern Munich and has a good understanding of Bayern's technical characteristics.
Both teams are renowned as Europe's top giants, both sides have won the Champions League many times, and in the last 10 Champions League meetings, Real Madrid has achieved a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, and has an overall advantage in the head-to-head statistics. Therefore, in this game, I am more optimistic that Real Madrid, who is playing away, can be reversed and unbeaten in 90 minutes.
