Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

 ⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

In 2014, Bayern Munich met with the Real Madrid at the Semi-finals of the Champions league for a contest like this and during that time, lost their game to Real Madrid with Real Madrid winning a goal over Bayern at their first leg in Madrid's home and scored a whooping 4 goals over none at the second leg in the Futball Arena Muchen stadium at the home of Bayern Munich. Then, Pep Guardiola was the manager of the Bayern Munich with the composition of star players like Mandzukich, Robben, Ribery,  Muller, Boateng and Alaba and the goalkeeper, Neuer was at his best too but they were beaten home by the Madrid with a 5-0 aggregates.

In 2018, Bayern also faced Madrid in another semifinals and lost again to the Madrid after the teams ended at a 4:3 lost against Bayern Munich in the second leg with Madrid winning over Bayern at Bayern's home in a goal difference.

In 2017, it was a quarterfinal fixtures and Bayern also lost to Madrid in a 6-3 aggregates with Madrid winning at both home and away.

Today, it's Tuchel's over Ancelotti and the first leg will be at Bayern's home, when Bayern is also faced with injuries right now. The chances of Bayern winning the first leg at this point  following the history of both teams, is very slim.
