Real Madrid and Bayern Munich on Wednesday wrote an exciting
book episode of the Champions League, which ended in a tight 1-0 for the hosts.
Benzema’s goal allowed the slope to the semifinal round, after a crash that
Bayern had possession, but it was Madrid who had the chance and did a great
collective work.
King Juan Carlos presided over the party with more
continental tradition that both sets faced with a tremendous mutual respect in
their clash number 21 in history. The Real Madrid presented by Christian Bale
as the only change from the team that won the Copa Del Rey.
Madrid and Bayern faced with 4-4-2 and men close together to
clear possession. White, backward, and gave ground ball, waiting for their
counterattack the Bavarians, with that label as Guardiola touch and passing
between lines.
The intense strategic fighting had made to wait for chances;
they were much clearer for Real Madrid. First, however, came in a swing Robben
in the 13th minute, with local concerned about not losing the position to have
the ball at his feet.
