Bayern Munich and Real Madrid as similar and different

Both Jupp Heynckes as Jose Mourinho has a 4-2-3-1 formation as preferred, each with its variants and their characteristics. The Germans probably will play with Alaba, Badstuber, Boateng and Lahm on defense, and Luiz Gustavo Kroos in the double pivot, Ribery, Robben Muller and second-line and Mario Gomez as a reference. Instead, Mourinho alignment is more difficult to predict. The only certainty is that Pepe will play in the center of the rear, because it is possible that Ramos at right back again, looking at the wrong time and recalling Arbeloa living proof of beds made in the return match with the APOEL . Ramos's participation is safe, not its position, Arbeloa alternatives Varane in the flank or in the center. It all depends on whom Mourinho fears most: a Ribery or Gomez. The question left side is the same as always: Marcelo or Coentrão?

The defenses of both teams have received the same goals in this year's Champions: A total of 6, ie 0.6 per game. Although we must say something: Bayern has not received a single goal in four games predatory (eighths and quarters). The Bavarians have very similar numbers in the Bundesliga, where he also has received many average of 0.6. Real, however, in the domestic competition gets more goals: 0'88 per game. Offensively his numbers almost too calcan: Bayern moves between 2'2 2'3 domestic and international and Real Madrid around the 3'2 in both competitions.

The greatest danger of the two teams are in the four-man band, all on foot changed and tend to make diagonal inward. On one side Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria, the other Ribery and Robben. None of the players who occupy the playmaker are focused on creating ownership and horizontal play, but both look out for the vertical, each in his own way: with her ​​fearsome Özil last pass (or Kaka, acceleration and pasted) Müller and his arrival from behind. At the tip of attack are the day and night: the strength of Gomez against the subtlety of the readiness of Benzema and Higuain. (All this counting Ozil and Kaka play, because if they do together Benzema and Higuain, the front of White's attack takes other forms.

Finally, a mention of the porters. Iker Casillas is the best time in his career, although the debate on those two goals seemed absence received the most exaggerated (the first great goal, the second more because of the Iker barrier). Champions and against a German team started its legend. Tomorrow, the first day of a key week in any one arena as Allianz, Madrid may again need his wings. On the other hand, Manuel Neuer, for me one of the three princes who might happen to Casillas (with Valdes and Lloris). Schalke, as captain, he was small. It is assumed that he went to Bayern to play games tomorrow. Will stop what for others is unstoppable?
