Real Madrid and Bayern Munich both played well and got reasonable results in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that both teams have not made any significant changes for the second leg. The only change at all is made by Los Merengues, who bring the more attack-minded Marcelo in for Fabio Coentrao.
