Two of European football's giants meet in the first leg on Tuesday. Neither of them are flawless but that should make for a fascinating tie
This season’s semi-finals pit two runaway leaders against two sides way off the pace in their respective domestic divisions. Not many would have placed in that latter group when the games began back in the summer, but as they prepare to face a team 13 points clear in and on the brink of winning their 36th Spanish title, they know that a 34th domestic crown of their own is mathematically out of reach, with already champions and 12 points ahead of them with three games to go.
Pair that with a solid out-of-possession plan — blocking passing lanes, doubling up on dangerous wingers and tightly marking midfield runners as they did against Arsenal – and Bayern can beat anybody, even with a handful of their attacking talents nursing injuries. The issue is that their opponents in this semi-final won’t really want too much of the ball, either.
