Real Madrid Have History on Their Side as They Go to Munich for the Second Leg Tie
A Look Back at the 2014 Champions League Semi-Final
Real Madrid will be looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit when they travel to Bayern Munich for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday. The Spanish giants have a good record in Munich, having won on their last two visits, and they will be confident of getting the result they need to reach the final.
In 2014, Real Madrid came to Munich in a similar position, needing to win by at least two goals to reach the final. They did so in emphatic fashion, winning 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of Real Madrid when they won in Munich in 2014 , and he will be hoping for a similar result this time around. The Italian coach knows Bayern Munich well, having coached them for two seasons between 2016 and 2018.
Ancelotti will be without several key players for the match against Bayern, including Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy. However, he still has a strong squad to choose from, and he will be confident of getting the result he needs.
Conclusion
Real Madrid will be confident of reaching the Champions League final despite their 2-1 deficit from the first leg. They have a good record in Munich, and they have a coach who knows Bayern Munich well. If they can produce another performance like they did in 2014, then they will be sure to book their place in the final.
