Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid or European Clasico (European Super Classic) is the most frequent competition in the Champions League/C1. The two giants of European football have clashed 26 times, in which the Bavarian Gray Tigers won 12 times, the White Vultures won 11 times and the two teams drew 3 times.

In addition, there were 9 other friendly matches between them with 5 wins for Bayern, 2 wins for Real and 2 draws. Those who love Los Blancos call Bayern “Bestia negra” (Black Beast), while Gray Tigers fans call Real “Bestia blanco” (White Beast).

There have been many fiery collisions or unforgettable scandals between them. From the “Crazy Man of the Bernabeu” incident, the legendary Amancio’s red card, Real’s 9-1 loss to Bayern in a pre-season friendly match in 1980 to Bayern stuffing the Bernabeu Cup under the stairs, Oliver Kahn sneered at Iker Casillas when he wanted to change shirts or Claudio Pizarro called Real clowns… All of which created an extremely tense, hateful atmosphere surrounding the clashes between them.

Football commentary Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid.
The first chapter in the never-ending “drama” between the two giants took place in the 1975/76 season when Real met Bayern in what was considered the best match in the history of the European Cup semi-finals at that time. At that time, under the witness of 78,000 spectators at Olympia Stadium, Bayern possessed names that made any team tremble: Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Uli Hoeness, Sepp Maier and one of the ” The most dangerous number 9″ in history, Gerd ‘Torpedo’ Muller, defeated Los Blancos 2-0 (first leg 1-1) to reach the final.

Muller scored all 3 goals for Bayern in both matches. But the two most memorable images of this confrontation are not related to expertise. One was a crazy Real fan who jumped straight onto the Bernabeu field in the first leg (1-1) to attack referee Eric Linemayr right after the match because he refused to give Los Blancos a penalty.

“The crazy guy at Bernaeu” punched Mr. Linemayr in the face, despite Honess’s intervention. In the second leg, the legendary Amancio Amaro could not control his disappointment because Real lost 0-2, so he received a red card in injury time, bowed his head and left the Olympia stadium in his last match in the C1 Cup. .

4 years after those two painful C1 Cup semi-finals, Real received another “humiliation” when losing 1-9 in a friendly match in the summer of 1980. Los Blancos lost 0-7 in the first half including Honess’ hat-trick. Although it was just an innocuous match, it is one of the stains that Madridistas do not want to mention the most.

“In front of a rival, even losing, let alone losing that much, is a humiliation. I would rather lose 9 matches with 1 conceded goal than lose 9 goals in just 1 match”, Real coach Vujadin Boskov had to bitterly admit at that time.

In the 1986/87 season, the two teams once again faced each other in the semi-finals of the C1 Cup. The tension and fierceness in the first leg at Olympia Stadium were likened to a bullfight. After just the first 37 minutes, Bayern took a 3-0 lead. It is worth mentioning that the second goal on the penalty spot by Lothar Matthaus came after a controversial decision by referee Bob Valentine.

Unable to stay calm in the face of Matthaus’s lying on the ground after the collision with Chendo, Juanito used a needle to stomp on the German legend’s head twice. And of course, he couldn’t escape the situation of “taking an early shower” right in the 32nd minute of the match. This was the turning point in the match, causing Real to lose miserably and Juanito to be suspended by UEFA for 5 years.

In the second leg at the Bernabeu, it was Bayern’s Augenthaler’s turn to punch Hugo Sanchez in the 30th minute and receive a red card. “These two matches are like bullfights. I beat him (Hugo Sanchez) because he kept talking in my ear, then automatically fell asleep… That made me crazy,” the former Bayern midfielder later explained about his violent behavior at that time. on AS.

Previously, in a friendly tournament called the Bernabeu Cup at the end of August 1980, Bayern won 5-4 on penalties after the two teams drew 1-1. This match was memorable because Rummenigge was sent off the field in the 44th minute for making obscene gestures to the audience and the situation was so chaotic that the referee even had to chase the Gray Tigers’ interpreter into the stands.

Many years later, in 2004, AS toeets newspaper revealed that the Bernabeu Cup, which Bayern first won in 1979, was found under the stairs of the club’s headquarters, not lined up next to the remaining trophies. However, it now has a place in the gallery at the Bavarian museum.

In addition, the hostility between the two teams was also recorded in cases where Kahn despised the players
