WOW!!! Real Madrid Have Played Ten Times At Munich Drawing One And Loosing Nine

Munich is a cursed destination for Real Madrid in the European Cup. The facts and figures show as much. Out of ten games played there, they have lost nine and managed just one draw.

'Los Blancos' have never produced a win at either the Olympiastadion or the Allianz Arena.
Nevertheless, amongst all the doom and gloom, there is one statistic which gives Real Madrid cause for optimism. Bayern virtually always win, but do not generally give the Spanish team a going over.

In fact, any of the last seven outcomes from the ties that they have played in Munich would suffice for Ancelotti's men. For example, the last time that Real played at the Allianz (2011/12) they lost 2-1, which would be enough to see them playing in Lisbon on 24th May.


They also lost 2-1 in 2006/07 - a result which knocked them out at the time, after 'Los Blancos' had won 3-2 at the Bernabéu.

The country as a whole has traditionally provided Real Madrid with problems, but the last three Champions League titles all involved wins in Germany. To win the seventh, Madrid had to dispatch Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals and the semi-finals.

Bayern lost in the semi-final when Madrid won the eighth. And the ninth came after knocking out the Munich outfit in the quarterfinals and beating Leverkusen in the final. They have shrugged off Schalke and Dortmund so far this year. Only Bayern remain.
