Champions League: Bayern Munchen vs Real Madrid Live, Preview, Lineups
SPONSORED
Bayern Munich are set to welcome Real Madrid for the second leg of their 2025–26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, with an exciting clash awaiting at the Allianz Arena.
Vincent Kompany’s men have been in impressive form lately. After defeating Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabéu, they followed it up with a dominant 5-0 victory over FC St. Pauli. The Bavarians delivered a commanding performance, but their task against the Spanish giants is far from over.
Bayern head into the second leg with a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first leg. While they will have the support of their home crowd, a one-goal lead offers little margin for error, especially against a side of Real Madrid’s calibre.

On the other hand, Álvaro Arbeloa’s team find themselves under pressure after a dip in form. Following consecutive defeats, they managed only a draw against Girona in their most recent LaLiga outing. The team has looked disjointed at times, which could pose a serious challenge in such a high-stakes European fixture.
Despite their recent struggles, Real Madrid possess a squad filled with quality and experience. However, overcoming an in-form Bayern Munich side while trailing by a goal will be a tough task. Los Blancos will need to deliver a strong and determined performance if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup (4-2-3-1)
Neuer (GK); Stanisic, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Gnabry, Diaz; Kane
Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-4-2)
