today was just fucking ill fortune. or spanish witchcraft maybe. but whatever. that was not in the original plans. very unlucky.
due to a lack of true winger kimmich filled in for robben, 2 creative midfielders overlapped in james and thiago, mueller and lewandowski were also tripping with each other, and it was just a collapse and disarray in the attack.
kimmich's goal was part a result of him filling in that spot but also he's not robben. so... not the same.
assuming... a suitable team can be assemble for the next date... bayern has a chance. long odds for sure but they do. and yes, in the bernabeu and all. that used to be osram's office.
but i haven't yet read the injury reports so im commenting blind here ha ha ha.

Both teams underachieved last night and Real certainly don't look unbeatable. I just think they're going into the 2nd leg at home with a 2 away-goal advantage and a history of getting the job done is difficult for any opponent, least of all one with Bayern's problems. Their big chance was last night and they blew it, even if a large part of that was down to bad luck. But I watched a replay of their Sevilla games and they were very lucky to get past them so, if anything, I think they're lucky to have gotten as far as they have. This clearly isn't a vintage Bayern side. It isn't a vintage Real one, either, but (as we know) Real are Real. You're right though, it certainly isn't impossible but it would realistically involve Bayern keeping a clean sheet at the Bernabeu while having to pour forward looking for at least 2 goals. I just can't see it.
