PREDICTION
The tired cliché of the 'narrative' suggests that Thomas Tuchel might bid farewell to Bayern Munich by securing his second UEFA Champions League title, while Harry Kane could finally break his 'trophy curse'. However, the reality is quite different, with one of Europe's strongest teams facing a struggling giant this season. Bayern boasts an array of attacking talent but lacks cohesion. Madrid, on the other hand, have only secured one 90-minute win in the knockout stages, which was hardly convincing in their round of 16 tie against RB Leipzig. While Madrid are likely to advance, as they often do, betting on them to win within regular time could be risky.
