Bayern finally win in Madrid, Mbappe gives hope to Real

Looking at the current form (won nine of 10 Champions League games so far this season, scoring 32 and conceding 10), Bayern Munich was a favorite against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, which is not something we see very often. After all, Real are Champions League record holders and they are never to be taken lightly, even thou they lost to Mallorca in La Liga ahead of this duel. Real have also won last 9 games against Bayern in Madrid, but tonight, that streak came to an end – Real – Bayern 1-2. The biggest reasons for this result are Manuel Neuer and the mistakes made by the hosts. A serious number of misses by Vinicius and Mbappe surely influenced the result but on the other side, the 40-years old Bayern keeper saved everything which could be saved. In the end, if the game finished 2-2 it would still be a fair result, considering that Real played much better after they conceded two goals and the rematch in Munich on Wednesday 15th is very much on. There was not mocking about in th..
