The first leg at the Bernabeu ended 1-0 (1-0) for the Royal – and considering the clear scoring chances for real this result was still extremely flattering for the team of Pep Guardiola .
Bayern started the game though focused and controlled, Real huddled deep in their own half. But too much, the guests liked in their well-known ball relay races, which hardly ever led to dangerous degrees. A long range shot from Arjen Robben just wide (13) and a header from Bastian Schweinsteiger, the Iker Casillas defused (14), were in the initial phase, the only serious Torannäherungen the guests. A somewhat clearer chance Bavaria had then could just block in the 18th minute, when Real defender Pepe a volley of Toni Kroos yet.
Boateng stands next to him
But this scene turned out as well as the extremely high defensive line as a boomerang, because the Bavarians were auskontern classic in return. Jerome Boateng gave Fabio Coentrao only escort in the middle left David Alaba Karim Benzema run. The Frenchman was standing at the six-yard box completely free and needed the cross only to insert the opening goal (19). The Bavarians were then nerves, a minute later, Boateng was again beside him plus two meters next to Cristiano Ronaldo – whose header was Manuel Neuer but also parry as soon after an attempt by Angel Di Maria
26 minutes in the Bayern goalkeeper would have been no chance when Ronaldo had completely detached not threshed after another real lightning attack the ball over the crossbar. And also as Di Maria after another ailment of the Bayern defense showed up free shortly before the break before Neuer, who shot flew just over the bar. The first half was a testament to how little number crunching sometimes can affect the reality: Bayern went 9-1 corners, 80 percent of the ball and four times as many successful passes in the cabin – but could be glad with 0:1 to be at the back.
pseudo pressure of Bavaria
The second half began with pseudo-pressure of Bavaria, the better opportunities but for real: a low shot from Ronaldo drew New so just around the post. Also a good 20 minutes before the end of the keeper was again on hand when Ronaldo was removed from the left half.
Of Bavaria was as good as nothing in the second round for a long time. European Footballer of the Year, Franck Ribery, was a complete failure and had not a single Torszene. Only substitute Thomas Müller made a shot from the penalty area 81 minutes into the again of danger. Also the other Joker, Mario Götze, would have been able to meet to compensate, he failed just before the end but from eight yards to Casillas. Worth would be 1:1, however, not have been – it was ten minutes ordinary at the end of the game just way too little
