Bayern Munich vs Real Madridâ Predicted lineup and team news
Bayern Munich are set to host Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday.
The German champions are in dazzling form, unbeaten in their last 15 games across all competitions (13 wins, 2 draws). Their recent 5-0 demolition of St. Pauli not only underlined their domestic dominance but also saw them break their long-standing 1971â72 scoring record, reaching an incredible 105 goals this season.
In Europe, Bayern carry a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first leg at the BernabĂ©u, where Luis DĂaz and Harry Kane were on target.
Manager Vincent Kompany used that St. Pauli game wisely, resting several key players ahead of this decisive clash.
The big news is Harry Kaneâs return â he missed the weekend due to a slight calf issue but is fit and ready to start. Serge Gnabry is also back after shaking off a minor knee problem.
Defensively, Bayern remain solid, though theyâll be without forward Lennart Karl (hamstring) and backup keeper Sven Ulreich (adductor).
Leon Goretzka and Alphonso Davies need to watch their discipline, as both risk missing the semi-final if booked.
Possible Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Gnabry, Diaz; Kane
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 15th April.
Fans in the UK can catch Bayern vs Real Madrid live on TNT Sports 2 or stream it via HBO Max on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The match will also be available through Amazon Prime Video and Virgin TV Go.
