Preparing for the Champions League  semi final match on tuesday, Madrid could afford to lose one of their star men for each of those matches as their counterattacking potency saw them through, but the second leg in the Allianz Arena is a special case. With both Ronaldo and Bale available, Ancelotti's decision whether to start one or both of them will dictate the style and mentality of his team in this match.
Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale told the press, "I feel good, I'm hoping to play and looking forward to it," ahead of his side's crucial semifinal second leg against Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
The news that the club's 100 million euro summer signing is raring to go will be a huge boost to coach Carlo Ancelotti as he looks to maintain the 1-0 lead his side picked up in the Santiago Bernabeu last week. However, it also presents him with a delicate dilemma as he ponders which permutation of the fabled BBC (Bale-Benzema-Cristiano) triumvirate to field against the German champions.
"It's possible to advance even if we don't score, but our intention is to do so. We have scored a lot in the Champions League and in La Liga and my intention is that we do so again in this one. In the majority of games we try to attack."
Ancelotti would be right to adopt a more aggressive style to keep their fate in their own hands. After a 3-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in their quarterfinal first leg, Madrid allowed the Germans to attack throughout the return fixture, and if it wasn't for BVB's sloppiness up front and some fine work from Iker Casillas, they could have been eliminated from the competition altogether. Ancelotti simply cannot bank on the Bundesliga champions being so wasteful in front of goal for a second match in a row, and certainly not following their 5-2 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend.
