Real is one of the most successful teams in Champions League history. They are favorites against any team. Meanwhile, there is no reason to hold back Bayern Munich as a tradition. The two teams meet today in the second leg of the second semi-final. The two teams are going to meet at Santiago Bernabeu, Real’s home ground. The match will start at 1 pm Bangladesh time on Wednesday.
Real will undoubtedly be ahead in this match. They are moving forward with great rhythm. They have lost only two matches this season. Both against city rivals Atletico Madrid. But that could not be an obstacle to win La Liga. Now they only think of the Champions League.
Real is a record 14-time champion in this tournament. There is no one near them. Today it is the turn of the team that has played in the finals for a record 17 times to move towards history once again. Taking all the record numbers one step further is now on the team’s mind.
Bayern will definitely be a bit behind compared to Real. They have lost five matches in the last three months in the German Bundesliga. In the last 16 of the Champions League, Lazio lost. The comeback win boosted the confidence of the team, but the scars from the previous loss are still there.
However, in the first leg, Real showed how dangerous Bayern are against big teams. However, the margin of victory in the face-to-face match with Bayern is slightly in favor of Real. They have met a total of 27 times as a single match, of which Real won 12, Bayern won 11, and the remaining four were drawn. Real have won six of their last seven appearances at home, drawing the other.
The battle between the players will be between Vinicius Jr. and Harry Kane. Vinicius has found the back of the net five times this season, assisting four. Meanwhile, Kane continues to score goals in one match after another. Kane’s name is also involved in the highest goal in the Champions League so far. The English striker scored eight goals equal to Kylian Mbappe.
Bayern Munich’s Thomas Tuchel is tied for the record between the two coaches. If he wins today, Tukhel will become the first coach to reach the Champions League final for three different teams. And Carlo Ancelotti already holds the record for the most (5 times) final appearances in the history of the competition. This is an opportunity to increase it.
