Real Madrid and Bayern will star in a classic in the semi-finals of the Champions League. In the past, this was a tie that Madrid struggled with, indeed, every trip to the German lands was torture. For Real Madrid’s most bitter legends are the defeats in the eighties, 5-1 against Hamburg, 5-0 against Kaiserslautern or 5-1 against Borussia M’Gladbach. The whites have achieved only one victory in Germany in 47 years, although things have changed recently, so since 2014 they have won 5 times, twice in the stadium they will visit on Tuesday.
History will be set to zero when both teams meet at the Allianz. It hasn’t been the best year for Bayern, who are third in the cup and many points behind Leverkusen, the new Bundesliga champions. Plus, he has a coach, TuchelIn shooting, a new substitute appears every day. Madrid do not look set to repeat the match they suffered in Manchester in Germany, and Bayern are not in a position to dominate City either. But this is not the first time, in Madrid they know very well, that a team that is not having a good season has made a splash in the Champions League. Tuchel’s men left Arsenal in the quarterfinals, they have Kimmich, right, Musiala, a great team and above all a certain weight in the highest European competition. No one will tell them how to handle the semifinals.
Between the two of them they played more than 50 semi-finals in the European Cup or Champions League. An atrocity. It’s not a classic, it’s a rivalry trapped in history like never before.
