Real Madrid won 1:0 at home, although Bayern were in possession most of the time. Real were very disciplined at the back and extremely dangerous on the counter-attacks. It could even have been 2:0 had Ronaldo scored from a big chance. Bayern will have to change things around a bit, as their style of play did not cause much trouble to Madrid's defense. We might see Javi Martinez in the starting lineup, as he is one of the best when it comes to stopping counter attacks. Bayern will also have to be more direct if they want to beat Real Madrid and play in the final for the 4th time in the last 5 years.
Expected Lineups:
Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba; Martinez, Schweinsteiger; Robben, Gotze/Muller, Ribery; Mandzukic
Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao; Alonso, Modric, Di Maria; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo
Our Prediction:
Bayern will keep possession most of the time, trying to break down Madrid's defence, while Real will wait for their chance on the break, with the pace of Bale and Ronaldo being the main threat. Result: 3:1 for Bayern.
