It doesn't matter what I think. That's what you have to do to beat them. Simply relying on a lucky counter isn't going to pay off consistently. Martinez and Swiensteiger are to smart for that. You don't have to have constant possession, but you need enough to put them under pressure and generate shots.
Obviously, it doesn't happen often. Hence their record this season. But that's what I would do.
Bayern will decline after this year though, Guardiola will try to make them play tiki taka and they will stop playing that wonderful and effective direct style.
Bayern will win. It won't be a blowout like against Barca, but they are going to win 2-1 or 3-1. Madrid's defense is an absolute joke, and against the runs of Muller, Ribery, and Robben + the hardworking Mandzukic they will crack. Not even Mourinho can save them.

Nothing to learn, it's pretty simple - close the flanks, press hard Schweini, that's it
Easier said than done. It is like saying the best way to stop Superman is Kryptonite, yet he keeps getting the better of his enemies/adversaries every time.
Knowing how to stop them is one thing; implementing a plan to effectively do so is another matter altogether.
