In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid hosted Bayern Munich. In the previous game, Bayern drew 2-2 at home to Real Madrid, and Ancelotti said after the game that this is already the best Bayern Munich, but Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena is not the best Real Madrid. This time the two teams meet again, can Ancelotti show the strongest Real Madrid fighting power at home?
Real Madrid in distress in the first leg: failing to keep Kroos at bay was a defeat
In the first game, Bayern successfully liberated Kroos, whose scheduling and through the ball put Real Madrid under pressure, while Bayern Munich once took a 2-1 lead, if it weren't for the late moments of the backline being disorganized, this game will face the same opponent again, and the long-term game between the two sides is still the biggest attraction of the game. In addition, in the first game, Harry Kane, who has a top center forward, performed better in the front line than Real Madrid, who lacked a top center forward and could only rely on Joselu as a substitute in the future. In this game, Kroos, Kane, Musiala are still several players that Real Madrid must take seriously.
Can Real Madrid show stronger form at home?
Compared with Bayern Munich, which has stronger strength on the central axis, Real Madrid's attack relies more on Vinicius and Rodrygo's two wings. In this game, Real Madrid will play the wing, and Bayern will play the old routine of playing the middle, and there will not be much change. The PK between Valverde, Bellingham, Camavinga, and Bayern's Muller and Kroos is still ongoing. Of course, Kane suffered some injuries in the game four days ago, which may be good news for Real Madrid, who are afraid of high-pitched tactics.
In this game, any result cannot be considered an upset, but from the perspective of expecting Kane to realize his dream of the Champions League, I still hope that Bayern Munich can counterattack from away.
