After playing the first leg of their Champions League semi-final match away in Germany, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich seemed to have little chance of separating themselves from one another. One might make the case that the squad led by Thomas Tuchel was the superior team on that particular day, but they could still make the most of the situation. In addition, Los Blancos have shown again and again that this is often the most important aspect of the sport of football.
In reality, the squad coached by Carlo Ancelotti was the one that gained the lead. despite the fact that the game was going against the flow of things, Vinicius Junior was able to score due to some outstanding work from Toni Kroos. Leroy Sane and Harry Kane scored goals for Bayern Munich in the second half, which gave them the opportunity to shift the tide of the match in their favor.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, was able to play their way back into the game when Bayern Munich was forced to give a penalty. Since Vinicius made no errors from the penalty spot, the match ended in a tie.
Kimin-jae, a player for Bayern Munich, seems to have contributed to both of Real Madrid’s goals. Real Madrid scored both of them. When the first goal was scored, the South Korean center defender attempted to press Vinicius by moving out of defense. However, in the course of doing so, he ended up creating a great deal of space at the back of the field. Due to the fact that Kroos played a clever through pass, the Brazilian was able to capitalize on the situation, and the defender’s speed was no match for him. However, despite having a backup option behind him, he made the inexplicable mistake of fouling Rodrygo in the area for the second time.
Following Real Madrid’s match, Tuchel criticizes a player from Bayern Munich.
It seems as if Tuchel was not enthused by what he seen from Kim on that particular day. According to a tweet from iMiaSanMia, he stated:
He was very ‘greedy’ on two separate occasions. During the first goal, he made the initial move against Vinicius, but he was caught by Toni Kroos’ pass. He failed to capitalize on the opportunity. He was very assertive and engaged in speculation. Another error was made on the second goal, which is a great disappointment. Our odds were in our favor, since we were five against two. When it came to Rodrygo, there was no need to defend it in an aggressive manner. At precisely the time when Eric was going to assist, he (Kim) took him (Rodrygo) downstairs. Regrettably, due to the excellence of their performances, these errors are penalized. But of course, it does occur. To proceed, we must go on.
Since moving to Bayern Munich, Kim, who had been the finest defender in Italy during the previous season when Napoli won the Serie A, has had a more difficult time adjusting to his new environment. In addition, if Matthijs de Ligt had been in better shape, it is quite likely that the South Korean international would not have started against Real Madrid.
Fans of Real Madrid will not, of course, be moaning about anything. at spite of the fact that Ancelotti’s team was not even close to being at their best, they were still able to secure a draw at the home of Bayern Munich. As a consequence of this, they will be in control of the tie when they play Tuchel’s men at Santiago Bernabeu. It goes without saying that he has led Chelsea to victory at that venue in the past, so Los Blancos cannot take anything for granted. It is possible that they have the upper hand, but the situation is not yet resolved.
