(Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images) | Getty Images Bayern Munich put the ghosts of Real Madrid to bed (or should I say, *Los Blancghosts*?), winning the second leg 4-3 at the Allianz Arena and the tie 6-4 on aggregate. This pits them against Paris Saint-Germain for a second time; the Bavarians beat them in the league phase 2-1 at the Parc des Princes thanks to two goals from Luis Díaz. Now it’s time to potentially wrap up the league with a home match against Stuttgart. For Bayern to seal the league, they must win against Stuttgart and hope that Borussia Dortmund loses to Hoffenheim. Bayern is on 76 points and Dortmund on 64 points; should both teams win, then Bayern should officially clinch the title next week away Mainz. The goal is to make sure the gap between the two teams is bigger than the maximum number of points that can be taken from the remaining matchdays. **Location**: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany **Date**: April 19, 2026 **Kickoff**: 5:30 PM Local time | 11:30 PM EST | 8:30 AM PST **TV/streaming:** ,
