Schalke
Bayern
- Benedikt Höwedes could switch to left-back, with Sead Kolasinac out injured and Jan Kirchhoff possibly filling in at centre-back.
- Kevin-Prince Boateng could drop to the bench, with Marco Höger starting in central midfield.
- Up front, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar should be fit in time for the kick-off.
- Jerome Boateng returns from suspension and will start at centre-back.
- With Philipp Lahm most likely playing as a right wing-back, Gianluca Gaudino and David Alaba could fill in in central midfield.
- Arjen Robben is doubtful and could be replaced by Mario Götze or Xherdan Shaqiri, while new signings Xabi Alonso and Mehdi Benatia may feature.
So, Alonso clearly was the best player in Bayern, good to see him playing good, but would have happier if he stayed. Hope Illara proves the point Xabi leaves him for.
@TheBlackMonk [irony=on] Ancelotti&Perez are thinking Modric+Kroos will do all the 'dirty-work' infront of the defensive line with their super-duper defensive skillz. [irony=off]

Letting go of Xabi Alonso is a massive loss for Madrid
Bayern's inability to shoot from distance is ridiculous. It looks like they have an aversion to that solution. Today, except the goal, there was always one or two passes to many. And the goal was only made possible by Santa(na) with his poor marking.
@El_Duderino ahem, Kroos, ahem.
Lewandowski 7.1 ??? Worst player on the pitch with almost no touches, ridiculousness pass accuracy, zero dribbles and 60 % lost aerials ! According to the stats he was the best player in the offense...
No touches? Oh, Shaqiri, Gotze and Muller were so great creating chances for him but he was like "meh".
Schalke handball ...
Oh Pep's stupid formations again and again :D
