Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich LIVE streaming info: When, where to watch Champions League semifinal second leg, head-to-head, preview, predicted lineups

PREVIEW

Real Madrid hosts Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid on May 8. (MAY 9, 12:30 AM IST)

Real wrapped up the LaLiga title over the weekend with four matches to spare, but that has not stopped Ancelotti from being extremely critical of his team’s performance in their 2-2 draw in the first-leg of the Champions League semi in Germany.

He has warned his players that they cannot afford another sub par performance if they want to contest the June 1 final at Wembley Stadium.

“We need a match with intensity, with pace… Looking at the first leg, defensively we could have done a lot more,” Ancelotti told a press conference on Tuesday, insisting that his side cannot afford to underestimate the challenge posed by Bayern despite the German side’s disappointing domestic campaign.

Bayer Leverkusen ended Bayern’s 11-year Bundesliga reign by securing the league crown last month but Ancelotti said the six-time European Cup winners will have extra motivation to win the only trophy they can still fight for this season
