The famous coach from Germany Bernd Schuster claims that in the defense, Madrid surpasses Munich, but according to other aspects of the game, the teams are practically equal.
In the 2007-2008 season, the specialist himself coached Real and predicts the advantage of the Spanish team over Bayern in the Champions League semi-final.
"Bayern" is not on the same level as "Real," - said 52-year-old Schuster. - Especially in the midfielder. Sergio Ramos and Pepe surpass Jerome Boateng and Holger Badstuber. So I doubt whether the German team will achieve the desired result."
True, the currently unemployed coach added: "Real" has Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria, Karim Benzema, Mesut Ozil, and Kaka, while the opponents have Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, and Bastian Schweinsteiger. So there is no difference between them in terms of defense and offense. The same goes for goalkeepers - both Iker Casillas and Manuel Neuer are world-class players."
Schuster also urged Bayern strategists to pay attention to Real's attacking organizers Xabi Alonso: "It is crucial whether the German team will be able to stop Alonso, as he is the link between defense and offense. This midfielder opens up the game and makes passes. He is more important than Ozil."
