Real Madrid will host Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening in one of Europe’s most anticipated fixtures, as the two giants meet in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals for the 2025-2026 season.
The match will be played at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where Madrid will look to capitalize on home support in a stadium known for its intense atmosphere on major European nights.
Real Madrid advanced to this stage after eliminating Manchester City, while Bayern Munich secured their place by knocking out Atalanta.
The Spanish side holds a record 15 Champions League titles, most recently in 2024, compared to Bayern’s six, with their last triumph coming in 2020.
Bayern arrive in strong attacking form, having won nine of their ten matches in the competition and scoring 32 goals, underlining their status as one of the tournament’s most dangerous sides.
Meanwhile, Madrid will rely on their experience and home advantage to gain an edge ahead of the return leg in Munich.
The match will be officiated by English referee Michael Oliver, with an all-English officiating team.
