Bayern Munich face Real Madrid in UCL semi-final first-leg showdown.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, European giants with a combined 20 UCL titles, clash in a high-stakes semi-final first leg at Allianz Arena, eyeing a crucial step towards glory.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich will return to the star-studded arena of Champions for Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against 14-time UCL titlist Real Madrid after the weekend’s 2-1 win over Frankfurt. The domestic victory over the Eagles leaves Bayern with four victories in a row across all competitions as they head into another episode of the most-played fixture in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
Bayern Munich will be keen to get past the Whites for the first time in three attempts, having lost the last two. Die Roten will be looking to take advantage of the home fans, whom they want adorned in red, in a bid to intimidate the visitors, well-known to be in white.
"Look in your wardrobes or buy something red - 'Mia san mia' red," Thomas Müller said in the build-up to the game. Meanwhile, Bayern are winless in their last seven games against Real Madrid.
With the relationship between club and coach now beyond repair, outgoing Thomas Tuchel hopes to steer FC Hollywood to their first UCL title since 2019/2020, where they defeated PSG 1-0 in the final at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal. A 4—2—3—1 with Harry Kane in attack is expected.
Alphonso Davies rejoins the squad after a one-match ban, while Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala are both in doubt after failing to feature at the weekend against Frankfurt.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid, having had one extra day of rest after picking up a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad on Friday, are looking to secure their 18th European Cup/UCL final appearance. After a breathtaking quarterfinal round against Manchester City, the Kings of Europe are in pursuit of a record 15th UCL title.
Madrid are coming off a 10-game unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League. They will be looking to pick up their fourth consecutive away victory over Bayern. A 4—1—2—1—2 formation with Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior in attack is expected for Tuesday’s semi-final first-leg showdown.
Real Madrid will be without the suspended Dani Carvajal, while Thibaut Courtois could return between the sticks. "We'll see if Courtois can play against Bayern. We'll weigh it up one game at a time," Carlo Ancelotti said after the win over Sociedad.
