Bayern Munich Ready to Overcome Real Madrid’s Efficiency in Champions League Semi-Final
Despite being held to a 2-2 draw by Real Madrid in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg, Bayern Munich‘s coach Thomas Tuchel expressed confidence in his team’s ability to defeat the Spanish giants in the return leg in Madrid.
The Bavarians staged a quick comeback in the second half, scoring twice in four minutes through Leroy Sane and a Harry Kane penalty, after Vinicius Jr had given Real Madrid the lead in the 24th minute against the run of play. Vinicius Jr later scored again with an 83rd-minute penalty as Bayern pushed for a third goal.
Tuchel, who will depart Bayern at the end of the season, acknowledged Real Madrid’s lethal efficiency but remained optimistic about his team’s chances. “The result is what it is and it’s not worth spending any time thinking about it,” he said at a press conference. “Real have the finish, they have the quality to do that. We should have scored a third but we were not efficient enough.”
Bayern, who need a win in Madrid next Wednesday to advance to the final at Wembley, had a strong start and had opportunities to extend their lead after going 2-1 up. Tuchel emphasized the importance of belief and fighting spirit, stating, “We go to Madrid and the winner takes it all. We are ready to fight. It is still possible. It is one of the toughest places to win but that is also what makes this challenge exciting.”
In the other semi-final, Borussia Dortmund and Paris St Germain will face each other on Wednesday.
