Madrid are the favourites to go through now.
2nd big game running (the other being against Barca) that Madrid have switched to a 4-4-2, wonder what they'll do when both Ronaldo and Bale are fit, drop Benzema and play both Bale and Ronaldo upfront? Or Isco will probably drop out and they'll go Ronaldo and Benzema upfront with Bale playing as a defensive winger, think they'll lose Isco's ball retention in that case.
Pepe is a cunt but he was very good IMO. Always make sense to go for Coentrao ahead of Marcelo in these sort of games, he isn't as good going forward as the Brazilian but he's much better defensively, also gives them better security at the back against long diagonals at the far post should the opposition employ that tactics.
Mandzukic and the Bayern CBs 😆
I don't understand why Bayern opt for a striker that relies on crosses and cut backs but are hell bent on trying to play through the middle. I think Gozte should have started or maybe even Muller (who has the knack of scoring these sort of matches).
Alaba is boss.
