One Eye on Madrid: Can Bayern Maintain Focus Against Stuttgart?
Midweek, Bayern Munich faced Real Madrid in the first leg of the UCL semifinals. The match finished 2-2 with Leroy Sane and Harry Kane scoring for Bayern and Vinicius Junior scoring twice for Madrid. It’s not a bad result, but the fact that they didn’t win makes the game against Stuttgart much more difficult to predict.
Here’s why. Even if they lose, Bayern Munich will depend only on themselves to finish as the runners-up, and everyone expects head coach Thomas Tuchel to make some changes for the usual starters to get some rest before flying to Madrid. In addition, Bayern only won two of their last eight road games in all competitions, recently crushing Union Berlin 5-1.
Saturday’s game will be a back-and-forth battle, expect plenty of goals.
