Real Madrid are completely focused on the Champions League – the second leg against FC Bayern has top priority
A clear priority seems to have been set at Real Madrid ahead of the decisive quarter-final second leg against FC Bayern. As The Athletic reports, the Whites have already come to terms internally with the fact that they will no longer be able to win the La Liga title
As a result, their full focus is now on the Champions League – and therefore on the clash at the Allianz Arena
Despite the recent poor results in the league, there is optimism in the Madrid camp, with coach Álvaro Arbeloa and his coaching team said to be convinced that a win in Munich is possible after intensive analysis
Preparations for the match against FC Bayern have been very detailed and Madrid still believe they have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals despite the 2-1 defeat in the first leg
Real Madrid’s league form plays no role for Kimmich
Recent La Liga performances have been anything but convincing, with Real failing to win any of their last three games, including a loss at Mallorca and a draw against Girona
But it was precisely this supposed weakness that Bayern had warned of recently, with Joshua Kimmich making it clear: „It doesn’t matter what their form is like. When it comes to the Champions League, they perform.“
With no realistic chance of winning the league title, the Champions League remains Real Madrid’s best hope of success this season
The second leg against FC Bayern will therefore be an absolute key match – for both teams. While Munich want to defend their 2:1 lead, Real are looking for their last big chance of winning the title.
