Both have been masters at getting through to the business end of the competition, with six of their two-legged ties coming in the Champions League semifinals.Bayern has the edge in their semifinal meetings, progressing to the final four times compared to Real's two.
However, it is recent history that works in Real's favour. Real has beaten Bayern in each of their past four meetings, scoring 11 goals and conceding just three.
