Tom Bischof knows Bayern Munich must be better against Real Madrid
The first leg against the kings of the UCL on Tuesday looms large.

Ergo, Lennart Karl’s late, late winner for Bayern Munich in the 3-2 victory over SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga- following two phenomenal long range goals from Tom Bischof- will lead to a massive boost in morale for both the team and the fans. What a way it was to win the match. But once that euphoria fades, some introspection will be needed.
It is important to note that Bayern are returning from an international break, played a rotated side, had to travel to one of the most intimidating avenues in the Bundesliga and left head coach Vincent Kompany satisfied with the performance . Yet it is also true that Bayern could and possibly should have been 3 or 4 goals down in the second half after the hosts gave up some massive chances while the Bavarians were floundering. Will this performance be enough when Bayern travel to the Bernabeu on Tuesday?
Will the likes of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé miss the chances presented to the Freiburg forwards? Sure, Real Madrid are currently facing their own troubles. But history dictates that one cannot expect to get a result against them in the Champions League without a perfect performance.
