Sin Bale or James in the starting lineup, Madrid held on until the 87th minute in the Audi Cup after a fiercely contested match in which two European giants alternated dominance and opportunities. Lewandowski, who had missed a clear chance minutes earlier, redeemed himself with a shot from a free kick that Keylor got caught on and couldn't prevent the Polish's goal, giving Bayern the win in the competition and a bit of breathing room for Guardiola.

With Isco as the playmaker, Madrid came out with the freshness of youth. Lucas Vázquez and Cheryshev tried their luck on the wings and Jesé, although less incisive than the day before, was active. Kroos had a go on a few occasions (all off target) and Madrid posed a threat from set pieces. By the way, Brych missed a penalty by Boateng on Ramos.

In the second half, Bayern took control, and Keylor Navas stepped up, making several impressive saves. But Bayern appeared and, above all, Douglas Costa came to life, becoming a nightmare for Carvajal, Arbeloa, and Nacho. Lewandowski's goal settled the match.
