Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, 2nd leg: 5 things to watch out for

#5 The rock-solid defences

The best defenders on the planet - Sergio Ramos and Marcelo?

Real Madrid have one of the best defences on the planet, led by captain Sergio Ramos who snuffs out attacks and scores goals whenever the team requires. Partnering him the middle of the defence is the young Raphael Varane, who looks set to inherit Ramos's mantle of being Real's best defender.

The Brazilian, Marcelo is undoubtedly the best left-back right now and Lucas Vazquez is able enough to perform well in the absence of Carvajal in the right-back position. Nacho is also back in contention for the starting lineup.

Bayern Munich have the services of Mats Hummels in the centre of defence, who is often considered as one among the top-five defenders in the world. He should be partnered by Niklas Sule to fill the vacant spot left by Boateng's absence.

David Alaba will return to the starting XI most probably or Rafinha will play in the left-back position. Kimmich will command the right-back position.

It is going to be the battle of the European heavyweights. A spectacle of a football match is on the cards.
