Real Madrid – the shape of the team and its analysis: all eyes are on the Champions League
“The Galácticos”, having defeated Barcelona and increased their lead over it, then began to openly finish out the season in the Primera, providing practice for the reserves. Suffice it to remember that Ancelotti brought in 9 new players to Real Sociedad and won thanks to Guler’s goal. Strength is needed for the Champions League, where it is not easy for “Los Blancos” in the play-offs. The team drew 3 times, advancing further largely due to reliable defensive play and Lunin’s saves (there were about a dozen of them in Manchester), after a 1-0 score in the battle against RB Leipzig. There was one more spectacular draw in Munich – 2-2.
Bayern – the shape of the team and its analysis: this is the worst year in the previous decade
“The Star of the South” lost its “silver salad bowl” ahead of schedule. Moreover, there were serious failures in the Super Cup and the German Cup in addition to the unconditional defeat to Bayer in the Bundesliga. It is not surprising that when the Champions League play-offs began with a 0-1 result in Rome without any shots on target for Lazio, they publicly announced the early termination of the relationship with Tuchel. What keeps him in the coaching position is that “the Record Holders” then played at a high level in the Champions League. They destroyed the opponent from Italy on the native field and turned out to be stronger than Arsenal, having overcome it in the process. Speaking about the confrontation with the Spanish club, the team, alternately leading the score, finished the game with a 2-2 result at the home arena.
