One of the standout fixtures of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will see Real Madrid face Bayern Munich this Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 7 p.m. GMT in the Spanish capital.

Los Merengues knocked out Manchester City with two wins in the round of 16—dominating 3-0 at home and edging a 2-1 victory in England. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, humiliated Atalanta Bergamo with a staggering aggregate score of 10-2.

Alvaro Arbeloa will have to make do without his goalkeeper Courtois and his Brazilian winger Rodrygo. Ferland Mendy is also sidelined, but Eder Militao and Ceballos have returned to training. Valverde is available again after missing the last La Liga match due to suspension.

On the other side, Vincent Kompany can once again call upon Olise and Kimmich, who was suspended last weekend against Freiburg. Harry Kane, who was previously a doubt, is also fit, unlike Ulreich, who remains injured.

Here are the probable lineups:

Real Madrid: Lunin - Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Carreras - Valverde, Pitarch, Tchouaméni, Güler - Mbappé, Vinicius Jr.

Bayern Munich: Neuer - Stanisic, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer - Kimmich, Pavlovic - Olise, Gnabry, Diaz - Kane.
