Be very, very mindful that you're organising everybody in position when all the attacking's going on.
To make sure if Real Madrid win the ball back and it's launched forward, that you're in a very good defensive position that you're going to get there before an Mbappe or a Vinicius.
Because if you're not aware of where they are...
and you lose the ball, that's where Real Madrid will hurt you.
So a lot of the key for me is how organised Bayern are defensively when all their attacking players are going forward.
With their backs against the wall, knowing that La Liga could be out of their reach, especially if Barcelona win it this weekend, does that add further motivation for Real Madrid to go ahead?
But I think they've been looking at this and thinking that...
there's no expectation that Barcelona was going to even give them a chance to get back into La Liga race.
So I think they put that even more emphasis on Champions League because of that.
And I think because of that, then slipping up at home,
puts that even more pressure against a very, very informed Bayern Munich and a team that just seems to have that togetherness.
When you see a side, you know, I'll go back to Leverkusen a couple of years ago.
It's a side that was together.
That was, you just saw that, that, that,
unwillingness to lose matches, finding ways late when they're not playing well to get results.
And you're seeing that in Bayern Munich.
You're not seeing it in Real Madrid.
Yeah, they're saying it in Bayern Munich.
