Takeaways for Bayern Munich from 2-2 draw against Real Madrid

Bayern Munich was the more dominant side in Tuesday’s Champions League first-leg semifinal encounter against Real Madrid. The Bavarian side dominated proceedings for the first 20 minutes by creating several good goal-scoring opportunities.

Real Madrid withstood the early onslaught from the hosts. They delivered the sucker punch by scoring from their first shot, thanks to some less-than-stellar defending from Kim Min-jae. Bayern did well in the second half to equalize and then take the lead before an ill-advised tackle from Kim Min-jae resulted in a penalty and subsequent equalizer for the visitors.

The tie is still in the balance ahead of the second leg since away goals are no longer a deciding factor. Nonetheless, there’s no denying that Real Madrid will be favourites in front of a home crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Let us now look at some key takeaways from this thrilling first-leg encounter.
