📸 Can that rattle Bayern? Real fans set up a spine-tingling start | OneFootball

It’s on – the match the entire football world has been eagerly awaiting for weeks has just kicked off. With Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, two favorites to win the Champions League are facing each other as early as the quarterfinals.

And in Madrid, of course, they always want to make things as difficult as possible for the opposition – especially when it’s a team from Munich and a place in Real’s favorite competition is on the line.

The Bernabéu roof is closed, and the fans are clearly fired up too, ready to give everything to cheer their team on to a comfortable position ahead of next Wednesday’s away leg in Munich.

Even when the team bus arrived, many supporters lined the streets in rainy Madrid and welcomed their stars with fireworks and more.

Inside the stadium, just moments before kick-off, the fans put on a seriously massive tifo that stretched all the way around the arena.

Even though Real stumbled against Mallorca in the league at the weekend, the roughly 84,000 fans seem fully determined to go all-in with their support today. As we all know, Real in the Champions League is often a completely different beast from the team we sometimes see in La Liga.

Whoever comes out on top over the two legs will face either Liverpool or PSG. 

What do you think? Can this incredible support from the fans make the difference? Will the record Champions League winners hold their own tonight against arguably the most in-form team in the world? Or will Bayern finally break the Real curse? Let us know in the comments!
