Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: 5 things to watch out for in the first leg

#5 The rock-solid defences of both the teams

Real Madrid's back four are considered as the best in business

When it comes to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the quality they possess in attack is matched by the quality of defenders both team possess.

Real Madrid have the rock-solid Sergio Ramos marshalling the centre-back position, along with the young but very dependable Raphael Varane. The right-back position is bossed by Dani Carvajal, and Marcelo is by no-doubt the best left-back on the planet. Both the full-backs often link up beautifully with Ronaldo and Bale up front.

Bayern Munich have one of the toughest defences to break down. The experience and composure of Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng makes it easy for them to snuffle out opposition strikers with ease.

David Alaba controls the pace of the game, pulling strings from the left-back position with Juan Bernat stepping up in his absence. Joshua Kimmich is one of the finest right-backs in the world right now, and Rafinha also deputises for the position.

The match is going to be a spectacle to watch. May the best team win.
