'Real Madrid were lucky against Man City. Bayern are slight favourites': Lothar Matthaus

"Bayern are the slight favourites [against Real Madrid]. Real were lucky to beat the best team in the world [Manchester City]," Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus has told Sky.

"I've heard that the mood in the Bayern's locker room is better than it's been for a long time. Tuchel and the players love each other. It wasn't always like this," the 63-year-old added.

Time usually proves people who say things like these wrong. Real Madrid, when put against all odds, turn into the best team in the world.

One of Matthaus' latest predictions about Real Madrid was far from perfect – he said David Alaba wouldn't be able to replace Sergio Ramos in terms of leadership, also noting that the Whites 'lost their personality'.
