Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a cup match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The semifinal clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich and can be live streamed here free.
After securing a 1-0 victory in the first leg with a defensive performance for the ages, Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale is expecting a change in tactics. Los Merengues aren't in Munich to defend a lead. They're there to capture a victory playing attacking football (h/t to the Mirror). "We will look to play good football as we always do," Bale said.
"We are not the type of team that comes out with the idea of playing extremely defensively," he added.
"We are confident. We have had a great season so far and we don't doubt our chances of reaching the Champions League final."
