Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: 5 reasons why Die Roten can pull off a miracle win at the Santiago Bernabeu

#4 Robert Lewandowski in, Gareth Bale out

While both the defences are depleted, in the attacking sense, Bayern Munich certainly have a more complete look than the Real Madrid frontline. The return of Robert Lewandowski is a huge boost to the German giants and the Polish striker will be hoping to repeat his 4 goal heroics (during his time with Dortmund) against the Spanish side in the second leg.

Also, with the absence of Gareth Bale, Real Madrid will have to find ways to cope without their star Welsh winger. Although Isco is in prime form, there is no denying the fact that Bale will be a huge loss and the Munich backline will be breathing a sign of relief.

Both Pepe and Varane are also out and Lewandowski will be licking his lips at the prospect of coming up against the likes of Sergio Ramos and the impressive Nacho. Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in world football at the moment and anything is possible when he is on the team.
