JAKARTA - On Wednesday 8 May or Thursday morning WIB, the Champions League stage will witness the epic duel between two European football giants, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, in the semifinal second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. This will be the 28th meeting in the long history of both clubs, and tensions and anticipations have peaked ahead of the battle on the pitch.
Their long history on the European scene has led them to an unforgettable moment in the semi-finals. In the first leg at the Allianz Arena last week, the fierce battle ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw.
Vinicius Junior became Real Madrid's hero with two goals, while Leroy Sane and Harry Kane answered for Bayern Munich. However, this second leg match will be a differentiator, where one team will move forward to the final, while others must accept disappointment.
Real Madrid, which recently confirmed their 36th La Liga title, is in impressive and confident performance. Under the control of Carlo Ancelotti, they have shown extraordinary, unbeaten resilience in the last 20 games in all competitions.
With a brilliant performance in the Champions League and a domestic title already in hand, they are ready to face Bayern Munich with their best squad on the pitch.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, who have felt the bitterness of the defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, will try to retaliate on the European stage. Despite having a troubling injury, including the loss of Kingsley Coman, they remain a serious threat to Real Madrid. However, Thomas Tuchel and his players had to find a way to overcome the strong home performance of the hosts.
