Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will highlight another UEFA Champions League night. The two European giants will go head-to-head in the quarter-final clash at the Allianz Arena. It is the German side that is leading the tie before playing at home. Having won 2-1 at Santiago Bernabeu, Bayern will look to seal a semi-final berth at home. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, often called as Kings of Europe, will know that they are not out of this game yet. Bayern Munich enters this game as the favourites to win the tie and make it to the semi-final. 

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League: Preview

After a convincing 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Harry Kane and Luis Díaz hushed the Madrid fans while Kylian Mbappe pulled one back for Real, Bayern Munich has a sizable advantage going into this home leg. Under Vincent Kompany’s direction, Bayern has developed a deadly transition game together with a brutal defensive framework. 

Real Madrid, which is currently under Alvaro Arbeloa’s management, is in an odd situation: they are behind going into the second leg. “Los Blancos” can never be written off in this competition, despite their domestic troubles in La Liga. After Kylian Mbappe’s late goal in the first leg kept the match alive, Madrid will be searching for another epic European “remontada.”

Bayern Munich: It is anticipated that Vincent Kompany will have an almost full roster. Manuel Neuer is confirmed to start in goal, and Harry Kane is healthy and leading the line despite some ankle concerns from the weekend. The German team will still be without young players Lennart Karl and Sven Ulreich, but Serge Gnabry is back in the running following a minor knee injury.

Real Madrid: Aurelien Tchouameni’s suspension for accumulating yellow cards is a significant blow to the visitors. Additionally, Arbeloa is without Thibaut Courtois (long-term) and Rodrygo (ACL). After suffering a facial injury during training, Kylian Mbappe is still a minor doubt, but it is generally anticipated that he will be “patched up” and spearhead the attack. If Madrid were to overcome the gap, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior would be essential.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League: Match Prediction

Bayern Munich start as favourites against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Having won the first leg away from home with a 2-1 margin, the German club would know that even a draw would take them to the semi-final. However, Bayern would not want to take a defensive mindset into the game. With Real Madrid boasting the best record when it comes to the Champions League, a comeback from Los Blancos would not be far-fetched.
