There was some concern regarding Serge Gnabry but he will at least start the match, likely yielding minutes to Jamal Musiala in the second half. Real Madrid will be without the services of Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni due to yellow card accumulation, but he will be replaced by world class midfielder, Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After dominating for the first 70 minutes of the first leg in the Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich eventually escaped with a 2-1 advantage over Real Madrid. This also marked Bayern\u2019s first win over Real Madrid in the last 10 meetings. Over the weekend, Bayern traveled back to Germany for a 5-0 beatdown of St. Pauli, breaking the Bundesliga\u2019s single-season scoring record with five games to spare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Real Madrid caught fire in March but have suffered two losses and a draw since Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 returned from injury. Real Madrid have a rich history of producing Champions League magic but will need to convert their chances in front of a raucous crowd at the Allianz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bayern draws 3-3 (advances on 5-4 aggregate). This is going to be one of the wildest games you\u2019ll ever see. Bayern presses early against Real Madrid\u2019s low block and Harry Kane scores a header from a set piece. Real Madrid will storm back with three straight goals from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 to take the aggregate lead. The home crowd will rally behind the Rekordmeister, resulting in a Kane penalty kick in the 80th minute. With both teams physically and mentally exhausted, Luis D\u00edaz will be the stoppage time hero with a 1v1 breakaway goal that starts from a Real Madrid corner kick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Location: Allianz Arena, Munich Germany<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Date: Wednesday, April 15th, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Time: 9:00pm local time (3:00pm EST)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">TV\/streaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/paramountplus.qflm.net\/c\/482924\/175360\/3065?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paramountplus.com%2Fshows%2Fuefa-champions-league%2F\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount Plus<\/a>, Univision, DAZN (via Prime Video), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livesoccertv.com\/match\/bayern-munchen-vs-real-madrid\/1a9xr#5590931\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find Your Country<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Odds: Bayern (-190), Draw (+400), Real Madrid (+375)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a new member, feel free to introduce yourself!
