Bayern Munich has suffered two significant absences in this match against Real Madrid. Jerome Boateng and Arjen Robben were injured and forced Jupp Heynckes to modify his tactical scheme. These two absences add to David Alaba's, who will also not be present in the second leg of the semifinals.
The injury to Arjen Robben occurred after trying to unbalance the opposition on the wing, and in one of those attempts, he fell to the ground. Despite walking off the field and resisting being substituted, Jupp Heynckes finally decided to bring in Thiago Alcantara.
On the other hand, Jerome Boateng also got injured in a play caused by himself. He stretched to reach a ball in the midfield and immediately asked for a substitution.
