Bayern Munich and Real Madrid face off this Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 19:00 GMT at the Allianz Arena. A ticket to the last four of the UEFA Champions League is at stake.

After a 2-1 victory in Madrid, the Bavarians are in a strong position to reach the semi-finals, but they must beware of a Madrid side that remains the undisputed queen of the competition.

On the German side, Ulreich, Karl, Cardozo, David Santos, and Mike are ruled out through injury, while Ito remains doubtful.

Tchouaméni will be the major absentee for Real after picking up a booking in the first leg. Alvaro Arbeloa must also do without Courtois, Rodrygo, Ceballos, and Mendy, all sidelined with injuries.

Rested last weekend in La Liga, Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, and Carreras are expected to return to the matchday squad.

Here are the probable lineups:

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

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