#1 Real Madrid’s famed ‘BBC’ trio not at their best at the moment
Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are capable of ripping opposition defences apart, but this season, the trio have been far from their best. While Karim Benzema has struggled to find his goalscoring form this season, Gareth Bale has struggled with both form and fitness this season.
Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible goalscoring exploits have also reduced compared to his usual high standards and Madrid recently have been scraping through most of their matches.

In fact, the cohesion between the BBC trio has also reduced so much, that there have been talks of dropping Benzema to the bench and start Alvaro Morata instead for this match. Bale, on the other hand, will need to lift his game soon. The Welshman had a terrible game against Atletico Madrid and was probably the worst player on the pitch.
All this puts more pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo. The 32-year-old still remains incredibly dangerous for Real Madrid, but even Ronaldo will find it tough to singlehandedly take the attack to Bayern Munich at Allianz arena tonight.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Real Madrid
