Champions League Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid

[SambaStyle]

Honestly though, what have RM done to make them such a big dog?

Win 1 game vs Barca in like 10 recent games and draw 3? They don't play teams Bayern's level every week.

I'm looking forward to all the champions league matches. The stress of this title challenge has made me appreciate good neutral football. I enjoy not getting worked up and disappointed.

For me both on their day could beat anyone but barcelona. Too close to call this one.

bayern will beat real. bayerns attacking play is
incredible and they function as a team.

Madrid will expose Bayern's defence.

Ronaldo in great form, resurgent Kaka, di Maria coming back at the right time, both Higuain and Benzema firing... Bayern are going to have their hands full and I really don't think they're as good as a lot of people believe. 5-2 aggregate in favor of Madrid. (3-1 in Madrid, 2-1 in Munich)

am i the only one who thinks Casillas isnt that good? Neur is miles better than him.

it will be a couple of good games as the sides are pretty even attacking wise

Very exciting this one. I think the thing that may decide it for Bayern is Lahm vs Ronaldo. Lahm has got the better of him every time they met. Meanwhile you could imagine Bayern's wingers tearing the Madrid fullbacks a new one. Arbeloa and Marcelo/Coentrao vs Robben and Ribery? Only one winner there. Obviously Alaba or whoever plays left back for Bayern may struggle against Di Maria, but Bayern will have greater possession and so Di Maria may be penned back defending against Ribery.

Midfield is fairly even, but if Schweinsteiger plays Bayern will control possession, Madrid just don't have anyone who can stop him.

Then it comes down to Benzema/Ozil against Badstuber/Boateng and Muller/Gomez against Pepe/Ramos. I would say advantage Madrid there, but not by much and Gomez is good enough to beat those Madrid defenders.

Too close to call imo, but can't wait.

Not the only one. Had he been a keeper for Valencia, or any other team than Madrid and Barca I doubt he would hold the post as the national team starter. Reina is a better keeper than both Casillas and Valdes.
