The second leg of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is played on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 and will start from the score 2-2, as the match in Germany ended. How do the two teams stand ahead of the second leg and what are their numbers?
Real Madrid seems to have a better odds if we only look at the offer of the online bookmakers, but we have had some surprises. At this point in the competition, nothing should surprise us, even more so when Bayern Munich is on the other side of the field, even in a match played at the Santiago Bernabeu. Here’s how the two stand in the most important chapters and what they did at the end of the week:
Real vs Bayern: one laughs, the other cries
It was a dream weekend for Real Madrid. They became champions of Spain for the 36th time in history and all after beating Cadiz 3-0 and Girona beating FC Barcelona 4-2. Los Blancos have 13 points over the second place, and there are only 12 points left in the game. The same did not happen in the case of the Bavarian formation. They were beaten 3-1 by VFB Stuttgart and now the Swabians are threatening second place Bayern, who are two points behind.
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: Defense vs Attack
74 goals is enough for Real Madrid to have the best attack in La Liga, but they have scored fewer goals than Wednesday’s opponent. Instead, he has twice as many goals conceded as the former German champions. Real received 22 goals in the 34 matches in the championship. Another 14 goals were scored by the Spanish champion in the current edition of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich have by far the best attack in Germany and one of the best in the world’s top 5 leagues. Harry Kane is the main man and the scorer against Stuttgart, as well as in the tour match. He scored 90 goals in the Bundesliga alone, 20 times in the current edition of the Champions League, and in terms of goals conceded he is weaker than Real. She conceded 41 league goals, and in UCL 2023-24 she was caught on the wrong foot 11 times.
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: the Bavarians do not feel at all comfortable in Madrid
It is very difficult to think about winning when you play in Madrid, and Bayern knows this best. From 2001 until now, he has visited the Spanish capital countless times, but he won only once in regular time. In 2017, he prevailed after extra time and qualified for the UCL semi-finals. Moreover, Real Madrid are unbeaten at home in all competitions.
