Newly-crowned La Liga Champions, Madrid, host Bayern in semi-final showdown.
In a highly anticipated showdown at the Santiago Bernabéu, La Liga champions Real Madrid host Bayern Munich in the decisive second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final, with both giants eyeing a coveted spot in the final.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid were crowned La Liga champions for the 36th time after a 3-0 win over relegation-threatened Cadiz. This victory left them with a 13-point lead at the top of the table following Barcelona’s 4-2 defeat to Girona.
Having clinched the league title with four games to spare, Madrid now head to the star-studded arena of champions for Wednesday’s semi-final second-leg clash with Bayern Munich. "We're very happy and very content. It's a deserved La Liga in every way, and we've had fantastic support from the fans. Now it's important to have a restrained celebration because Wednesday's objective is very important," Carlo Ancelotti said.
Neither side could be separated in the topsy-turvy first-leg encounter, which ended 2-2 in Munich after a goal from the spot by Vinícius Júnior [24, 83’ P.] kept Madrid in the tie. Having survived an intimidating 'sea-of-red’ in the reverse fixture, Real Madrid [D*WWDW] are now looking to let their home advantage count at the Bernabéu.
The Whites are on an eight-game unbeaten run against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League [6W, 2D, 0L]. Coupled with a seven-game unbeaten home record against the visitors [6W, 1D, 0L], the 14-time UCL champions will be highly confident of reaching an 18th European Cup/UCL final.
A 4—1—2—1—2 with Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior in attack is expected for Wednesday’s semi-final second-leg showdown. Dani Carvajal rejoins the squad after missing out on the first leg due to suspension.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich will be coming off the back of a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart, a defeat that leaves the Bavarians without a win in two games across all competitions as they head into Wednesday’s UCL second-leg clash with Madrid.
"It's no coincidence that they’ve constantly been in the semi-finals in recent years," Thomas Müller said, urging Bayern fans to adorn themselves in red ahead of the first leg. "Whether they’re beatable for us will be decided by whether we can put the ball away or not," he added.
Bayern will be looking to add to their 33 victories in 70 meetings against Spanish clubs. However, a poor record on the road against Spanish outfits leaves the Bavarians with defeats in half of their 32 trips to such sides.
A 4-2-3-1 formation with Harry Kane in attack is expected for Wednesday’s clash with Real Madrid.
