Real Madrid are ready to face Bayern Munich on 12th April 2017 in the UEFA Champions League quater-final

Real Madrid are going to face Bayern Munich at the UCL quater-final after 4 days of facing Atletico Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu. This match would be a battle of 2 European monster. The first leg takes place in Munich. Zidane's squad will try to secure a good result to take back to the Bernabeu. Zidane corrected his men against Bayern because he took lessons from the performance against Atletico. The defensive 4-4-2 formation couldn't absorb the pressure and lost concentration for which Atletico scored a 85th minute equalizer.
The match could be ended 1-0 if Pepe was still present on the field. Unfortunately now Pepe is out for at least 1 month with two broken ribs. Raphael Varane is also out for another 3 - 4 weeks with his hamstring injury. A hard test is waiting for Nacho. Sergio Ramos is only one yellow card away from suspension, so he need to be disciplined.
Bayern are going to face this match with confidence after beating Dortmund 4-1 in their last match. Ancelotti built his team with a 4-2-3-1 formation. 26 years old Thiago is a key player of Ancelotti. Robben and Ribery both are in their top form. Reports say that Robert Lewandowski would play this match though he had a shoulder injury. The injury to Mats Hummels would effect the quality in the backline like Madrid is losing their world-class defender Pepe.
Real Madrid would definitely try to break the counter with the crucial players within Zidane's set-up. So this match is going to be a great match between the two European titans.
