Nearly a week ago both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich met at the Allianz Arena to kick off the Champions League semi-final. Real went down 1-0 first to a goal conceded to right back Joshua Kimmich. Marcelo would score near the end of the first half to put everything square before the halftime whistle blew. Real then put in the go-ahead away goal on a great effort by Marco Asensio, who was subbed on for Isco at the half.

Real didn’t look terribly convincing, even with a win, they spent a great deal of time in their own end having to fight off the Bayern attack. The stats absolutely back this up, Real trailed in almost every aspect except the score. They had way less attempted shots, though only 1 less shot on target, less corners, and were dominated in possession. They also had more offsides and fouls called, though Bayern were issued 1 more yellow card. Needless to say, they need to step it up going into this 2nd leg at home.
