Real Madrid and Bayern Munich meet in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 quarter-finals on Tuesday. It will be the 29th clash between the European rivals, firmly establishing its presence as the most contested fixture in UEFA's competition history.
Both teams have been in superlative form leading into the high-voltage fixture. While coach Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich side stands unbeaten in its last five matches, Alvaro Arbeloa and his Real Madrid outfit have clinched victories in four of their last five matches. Madrid defeated Manchester City 2-1 in their Round of 16 encounter, whereas Munich hammered Atalanta 4-1 in their pre-quarter final clash.
Real Madrid are set to take the field without Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo due to their injuries. The club also faces uncertainty over Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos amid their fitness concerns. For Bayern Munich, the injury-forced absence of Sven Ulreich and David Santos would be a blow.
