Tough duel in the Champions League

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, two powerhouses of European football, meet tonight at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. In the “eighties” Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City (5-1 overall), while Bayern Munich got past Atalanta (10-2 overall).

Domestically, Real Madrid is coming off a La Liga defeat, 1-2 against Mallorca, while Bayern Munich managed a comeback in the Bundesliga, 3-2 against Freiburg, after being led 0-2. The Galacticos are second in La Liga, while the Bavarians are leaders in the Bundesliga.

Squad-wise, Real Madrid will approach tonight's match without the injured Dani Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo. On the other hand, Bayern star Harry Kane missed Bayern's previous Bundesliga match with an ankle injury but is set to return in the Spanish capital. He returned to the field on Monday and trained side by side with his teammates.

The two last met in 2024, in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Real Madrid eliminated Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate.

The two coaches prefaced tonight's duel.

I want to see a Real Madrid that have always been up to the task against big rivals like the one we face tomorrow. A Bayern Munich team that is having an exceptional season at all levels of the game.

In terms of results, they are likely to be the most consistent team in Europe so far this season. We know the challenge they will pose on the pitch and the history we have with Bayern Munich, which is always special for us. The Bernabeu will experience another great Champions League night like the one we had against Manchester City. I'm sure it will happen again tomorrow.

– Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid coach

I think everything is important in this type of game where details matter a lot. The version of Real Madrid we have to prepare for is the best, the one we saw against Manchester City.

They remain one of the best teams in Europe and this could be the most difficult game you can play away from home in this competition. At this level, in such matches, everything is dangerous and everything can make the difference. You can never have a definitive game plan against a team like Real Madrid. Tomorrow, I expect it to be a very solid team.

– Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich coach
