Thomas Tuchel was nervous on the sidelines throughout the game, but he changed his formation to take the lead, but did not seem to remind central defender Kim Min-jae not to act recklessly, and as a result, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich returned to the Champions League semi-finals in the first leg at home, and La Liga giants Real Madrid were forced to draw 2-2. Thankfully, though, Thomas Tuchel has a week to go before he prepares for the second leg next Wednesday.
Carlo Ancelotti is the king of European competition, but watching his Real Madrid coach, it is sometimes difficult to see any amazing tactics, such as the current game almost the same line-up that eliminated Manchester City, only the right-back used the attacking and excellent recent Lucas Vazquez, and then the team was slow in possession, did not use the popular front court when defending, and retreated to the second half to try to compress the space in the third line, which was enough to make Bayern helpless in the first half.
Real Madrid opened Bayern's defense in the 24th minute with a scalpel-like straight pass, allowing Vinicius Júnior to open the scoring with a single shot. The first credit for this goal is of course due to Tony Kroos's passing vision and skills, followed by Vinicius Júnior's calm shooting, but it cannot be ignored that Ancelotti's deployment against Bayern's weaknesses.
Bayern's South Korean central defender Kim Min-jae, strong air dominance, speed is also good, ball control and transmission also have a certain attainment, but the ball quotient is not high, the defense of this game is competent most of the time, but occasional mistakes have a price, such as the first goal conceded, that is, Vinicius Júnior first quickly retreated to the midfield, seemingly to meet the ball, Kim Min-jae chased out, but at this time Vinicius Júnior suddenly U-turn forward rushed forward to the penalty area, Kim Min-jae turned back, although not very slow, but to catch up with Vinicius Jús, who is known for his speed. Júnior is out of his power. In the second half, Vinicius Júnior had a chance to "follow the same gourd", the Brazilian striker will come to another "switchback run", Kim Min-jae did not learn to be obedient, and chased out, and he was also unable to catch up, but this time Vinicius Júnior's shot was too narrow, and his shot was saved by Bayern goalkeeper Neuer.
Real Madrid were overtaken after changing sides, but Carlo Ancelotti still worked on Kim, this time allowing the nimble Rodrygo to burst into the box, but Kim recklessly tripped the Brazilian fast wing, only for Vinicius Júnior to score 2-2.
In fact, Carlo Ancelotti was attacking Kim Min-jae this time and tactically appropriate, but Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel was also very adaptable. Bayern didn't have many chances in the first half, so Thomas Tuchel made two changes at half-time, one was to replace Leon Goretzka with Rafael Guerreiro, but instead of playing the usual left-back, he directly replaced Leon Goretzka in the central midfield position, which would allow Konrad Laimer to play back to his best 'number six', and Rafael Guerreiro could also assist on the left.
Thomas Tuchel's second, more significant change, was the switch between Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala on the left and right flanks, a move that left and right that Real Madrid struggled to adapt to, and Sane swung back from the right to level with a powerful shot into the near post on 53 minutes. Four minutes later, it was the turn of Jamal Musiala to dribble into the box on the left flank, only to be tripped by Lucas Vazquez and awarded a penalty, with Kane slotting in to give Bayern a 2-1 lead.
After that, Real Madrid was a little nervous, but Bayern did not take advantage of this to expand the score, and the two corner kicks hit the target, but they were too positive and did not finish the whole work, and as a result, Real Madrid grasped a mistake by Kim Min-jae and tied it.
In fact, compared with the two-legged match against Manchester City, Real Madrid's performance this game is obviously inferior, especially the main Jude Bellingham is almost invisible, there was no shot on goal in the whole game, and 10 times lost possession, so he was replaced by Ancelotti as early as 74 minutes;
