maybe, but they've looked quite dangerous tonight. their weaknesses in defence (who doesn't have this issue today it seems?) and madrid's ability to hit on the counter with all of their pace and skill on the wings/up front is the risk. if this was in munich the scoreline might be different.
we also saw pepe also ruin one of their most dangerous looking attacks via a faux injury that he could have...sorry, should have been carded for if you ask me. bayern then kindly stopped playing, even though they seemed to know it was bollocks, and then madrid not so kindly kicked the ball down the pitch to neuer after the stoppage.
