Kick off between Madrid and Bayern is underway and I'm sure it will be an exciting match.
Within the first minute, Bayern had the momentum as Sane had a 1-on-1 chance against Lunin, but luckily Lunin was focused enough after the kick off to keep his powerful shot out with a good save at the start of the first half. Honestly, I'm not too happy with that chance but it's still very early and I'm still quite optimistic that Madrid can still win today's match.
BTW, we have now seen Courtois on the bench, after previously Militao was able to play and now a breath of fresh air for Madrid has come again where their main goalkeeper can be played again, although I still expect Ancelotti to continue to give Lunin a chance because he has been extraordinary this season.
Real withstood Bayern's initial pressure and the game has now moved closer to the center of the field. So far it is clear that Ancelotti is trying to play well in defense, which worked for Real against City. Bayern kept the game in the center, but just one pass from Cross across the field and the entire defense was cut off, Vinicius scores a goal. Well, Bayern's dominance did not give anything, a failure in the center of defense and Real scored a goal.
The match was over although I lost my bet on today's match but I was quite entertained by what Madrid and Bayern showed in the 90 minutes of the match.
Vini opened the scoring very well although Bayern eventually put the pressure back on with two goals but the match was eventually tied with Madrid, a club that specializes in quick counter-attacks and always takes advantage of crucial time, equalizing the score again.
2 Penalties were scored in today's game but that didn't change anything and the first leg now ends 2-2 with both clubs still in with a chance of making it through to the final but the second leg Madrid will have the advantage of course as they will be playing at the Bernabeu.

So Bayern Munich were the better team for the first 20 minutes of the game. There were a few chances for bayern, but none really good enough to score. Normally, Real Madrid should be the better team, but Bayern Munich has no chance of winning a title this season, except in the Champions League. But now real madird has scored the 1:0, so nice. Bayern make one mistake and Real make the goal. Now the game should get even better and we will see a lot more action. But Real Madrid will play very "slow" now and I dont think they will risk anything.
At the start of the first half Madrid seemed to be waiting for momentum and indeed Bayern dominated more in the first half but it was not very visible in the second half even though in today match Bayern were still superior in terms of statistics on chances and possession but it was very thin in my opinion because indeed their matches and the strength of their squad were quite balanced in today match.
The first leg although I didn't really expect because I expected Madrid to win but a draw score also seems to be good enough for Madrid .
Bayern Munich really have great players but Tuchel just can't do what he has in his mind exactly. I really liked Musiala and Sane today but it was still not enough for a win.
