How Real Madrid arrives

The Spanish giants are not going through their best moment. They arrive having gone three matches without a win: a 2-1 defeat to Mallorca, a 1-1 draw against Girona at the Bernabéu, and a 1-2 home loss in the first leg of this tie.

This forces the team to score at least two goals to advance to the semifinals. Even so, there are reasons for optimism: in their recent matches in Germany, Real Madrid have shown strong attacking efficiency.

They will be without Aurélien Tchouaméni due to suspension, but their full attacking arsenal will be available. Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Jude Bellingham will lead a side that needs a perfect night.

How Bayern Munich arrives

Bayern Munich are in excellent form. They come in on a 10-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, having already surpassed 100 goals and with the league title practically secured.

In the DFB-Pokal they are in the semifinals, and in the Champions League they have only lost one match. At home, their performances are very solid: they average two goals per game at the Allianz Arena in European competition.

They have only lost once at home all season, a 1-2 defeat to Augsburg on January 24, which remains their only loss of the campaign.

Everything is set for another chapter in this historic rivalry. Real Madrid need an epic comeback, and Bayern Munich want to make their home strength count. History is once again on the line.
