They took a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the second leg of the 2023-24 semifinal to advance to the final, where they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0.

Real Madrid’s back against the wall
Bayern Munich did a fantastic job in the first leg picking up a massive 2-1 win in Madrid. While this was a massive victory, Real Madrid are not a club you want to have pressing for 90 minutes. This is a club that will fight tooth and nail for every second of this match and outside of Bayern, has one of the best attacks in the world.
Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham will have their foot on the gas from the first whistle to the end. I’m expecting goals everywhere in this game but with the unique position of Real Madrid being behind in goals, we have a secret fun way to bet this game with corners. Real Madrid had six corners in the second half alone against Bayern Munich in the first leg, and that was only with 45 minutes of pressing. I’m going to ladder Madrid’s corners in this fixture.

Bayern Munich’s front three
While Real Madrid’s attack is terrifying in its own right, there is no better front three on the planet than Bayern Munich’s. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz have been virtually unstoppable this season. The team has picked up 139 goals this season across all competitions. Olise is coming close to breaking the Bundesliga assist record, while Kane is close to breaking the Bundesliga goal record.
This team doesn’t park the bus and doesn’t slow down. I’m going to be betting on Olise. He has 18 assists in Bundesliga play and six in UCL play already this season, and with a match that the books think will see FIVE goals, I have to bet on Olise on this one to assist once again.
