In Germany, Real Madrid chase a comeback against unstoppable Bayern | OneFootball

The German side won the first leg and will look to seal qualification at the Allianz Arena, but standing in their way will be the most successful club in Champions League history.

Bayern Munich will host Real Madrid this Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of the 2026 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Vincent Kompany’s team will try to make the most of the 2-1 win they earned in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu and book their place in the semifinals.

Although the advantage favors the German team, history carries weight. Standing opposite will be Los Blancos, the most successful club in the competition, which has already staged multiple comebacks in these kinds of scenarios. That is why, despite the result in Madrid, the tie remains completely open.

Bayern arrive in great form. They lead the Bundesliga comfortably and have delivered dominant performances in the Champions League, where they have lost only one match all campaign. The emphatic aggregate win over Atalanta in the round of 16 and the victory in Spain confirm their credentials, although they know they cannot afford to relax.

For their part, Real Madrid approach this clash as a true final. With no chance in LaLiga and already out of the Copa del Rey, Álvaro Arbeloa’s team need a win in Munich to keep their hopes alive this season. On their way to the quarterfinals, they knocked out Benfica and Manchester City, proving that in Europe they are always a fearsome opponent.

The winner of this tie will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals, after the French side convincingly eliminated Liverpool.
