Real Madrid Vs. Bayern Munich, 2012 UEFA Champions League: Brief Pause, Then More Crazy

Arjen Robben dances through the bunched-up Real Madrid defence and looks to play in Mario Gomez for what would be a very interesting second away goal. Unfortunately for Bayern Munich, Pepe is there to intercept and Real Madrid can clear. That's about the most interesting thing that's happened recently, because the game seems to have gotten a little bit bogged down (relative to the craziness of earlier) in a midfield battle. Lots of little fouls, but nothing really doing.

That said, one of those little fouls has just resulted in Karim Benzema bursting free down the right while Bayern's back line went to sleep, and his effort had to be well saved by Manuel Neuer, his first action of the half. Then the visitors march back up the other end of the pitch and Mario Gomez has a deflected shot saved by Iker Casillas. We're back to craziness, I see.
