UEFA Champions League: 5 reasons why Real Madrid will beat Bayern Munich in the semi-finals
There is something peculiar about Real Madrid this season. Their form throughout the year has been like a roller coaster ride with too many ups and downs.
They stumbled poorly in the Liga during weekends but triumphed in mid-week Champions League clashes as if it was a different world entirely.
Though Los Blancos had given up on their La Liga hopes a few months ago, they have their eyes set on the Champions League and that too pretty desperately.
Real's journey has been amazing so far and they indeed fought their way until this stage of the tournament with valour. Right from the group stages until the quarterfinals, Madrid has faced tough and strong opponents from across Europe.
Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, PSG, Juventus. I mean, just look at the teams that they have faced so far in this season!
With the highly anticipated event set to take place this midweek, let us take a look at 5 reasons why Real Madrid would show Bayern the exit door.
#5 Real Madrid are desperate to not end the season trophyless
Zidane and his men had a very disappointing domestic league season. They are 15 points shy of arch-rivals, Barcelona. A surprise exit out of Copa Del Rey made things far worse for the Blancos.
However, amidst all such chaos and scrutinies, Champions League was something where Real Madrid faced no criticism.
As per the current situation, Real Madrid are aiming for the cup more for the sake of honor and less for the third consecutive European glory as it's their respect at stake right now.
There is absolutely no doubt that Bayern Munich would give their best to try and secure a berth in the final but they won't be having the kind of hunger which Real are having at the moment.
Zidane and his men are all in now as they have nothing to lose.
On the other hand, the pressure upon Bayern Munich, who lifted their sixth consecutive Bundesliga title just a couple weeks ago, won't be as much as it's upon Real Madrid, who are eyeing to prove their worth this season.
The Bavarians are set to clash against the team who is about to feature in their sixth Champions League semi-final in the last decade.
When it comes to experience in terms of Champions League semis, Bayern Munich is not all an even comparison to Real Madrid.
All these show that when it comes to competitive and crunch situations, the Spanish Giants spare none.
Thus, Bavarians might have to grind their gears really hard to give their opponents a tough fight.
Especially when the Galacticos are desperate to get their hands on a silverware and avoid a trophyless season.
