Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is not allowed to bet on the Champions League semi-final, but he decided to openly predict that Serge Gnabry will score against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Bayern manager did not give any further explanations other than the fact that he was sure the winger would have a big impact on tomorrow’s game.”I don’t know why. But I know that Gnabry is going to score a sure goal”.Gnabry himself has recovered from a muscle tear suffered in the previous round against Arsenal to be fit for the match.🚨📢 Bayern Munich club officials and players have made a huge appeal to their fans: everybody to wear red to the game vs Real Madrid tomorrow! 🔴👕 pic.twitter.com/aMSYv0yKq2— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) April 29, 2024 Talking about the match during the press conference on Monday, the German tactician said the key is to find a balance between tactical discipline and freedom to improvise.”We will need some luck too. It depends on tactics, luck, but also having some freedom. Tactics are always a tool. It’s like a car, but we are the ones driving it. Players also have certain ideas throughout a match and they have to feel the freedom to express them on the field of play. It takes a mix of luck, moments and quality to eliminate a team of the stature of Real Madrid. And if luck has to be challenged, we will challenge it.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8063062##Equally, he pointed out the same balance was required between attack and defence, while pointing out Vinicius Junior and Toni Kroos as the two key players for Los Blancos.”We played them with Chelsea, PSG and Dortmund. Karim Benzema was key and had a lot of influence. Now Jude Bellingham is the one who is that figure. The system has changed. With Vinicius and Kroos as the dominant players. In general, the task of playing against Real Madrid is about getting enough players forward but also being ready in defence. It will be about always achieving balance,” concluded Tuchel.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – SEMI-FINALFirst legTuesday22:00: (2.55) Bayern (3.50) Real Madrid (2.85)Wednesday 22:00: (2.75) Dortmund (3.45) PSG (2.50)***odds are subject to change***
