Bayern Munich faces a daunting task as they head to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid after failing to secure victory at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarians are plagued by an injury crisis, adding to the challenge for coach Thomas Tuchel.
However, success in this match could erase past disappointments. Bayern aims to recreate the 2013 all-German final, which they won against domestic rivals. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, the 14-time Champions League winners, seek revenge after being thrashed by a Robert Lewandowski led Dortmund in the 2012/2013 semi-finals.
This rematch offers Madrid a chance to avenge their defeat and secure a spot in the final against Bayern's archrivals. To achieve that, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelloti needs to set up a formidable lineup that will be able to defeat Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Lunin in goal, with Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, and Mendy in defense. Tchouameni, Kroos, and Valverde in midfield, while Bellingham, Vinicius, and Rodrygo lead the attack.
Bayern Munich predicted XI: Neuer as goalkeeper, with Kimmich, de Ligt, Dier, and Mazraoui forming the defense. Laimer and Goretzka in midfield, and Sané, Müller, and Musiala supporting Kane in the attack.
