Thomas Tuchel the surprise surprise in the lineup of Bayern Munich against Real Madrid from a bench star

The manager of Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel, is not afraid to change his formations when he feels that a player, regardless of name and reputation, can give an advantage, as he has proven this season. He could be preparing for a surprise in his Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

According to BILD, via AS Diary, Tuchel will leave Leon Goretzka on the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu to make way for 20-year-old Aleksandar Pavlovic. The young suitor had a breakout season at Bayern, and impressed through his ball handling.

He could bring Bayern a much more controlled approach in midfield, as opposed to the physicality and experience of Goretzka, who stands out for his ability to go up and down the field. U a doubt in the Real Madrid XI is whether Aurelien Tchouameni will start in defense or midfield, with Nacho Fernandez or Eduardo Camavinga the alternatives depending on the path that Carlo Ancelotti takes. If Camavinga starts, Los Blancos can have the physical advantage in the middle of the field.
