Real Madrid face Bayern Munich’s formidable attack at the Allianz Arena
The clash between Real Madrid and hosts Bayern Munich resumes on Wednesday evening in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, after the Spanish side suffered a 2-1 first-leg defeat to their German counterparts in what many considered the standout match of this season’s competition.
The loss undoubtedly shook the foundations of the Madrid club, which suffered another setback after being held to a 1-1 draw against Girona in La Liga. This result left them nine points behind leaders Barcelona with seven rounds remaining, making their chances of lifting the domestic title more difficult than ever, even with a Clásico still to come.
This draw is expected to place even greater pressure on Álvaro Arbeloa’s side, who now face a daunting challenge against an opponent brimming with confidence after achieving a historic milestone—scoring 104 goals in a single Bundesliga season, surpassing their previous record of 101 goals set in the 1971–72 campaign.
Such attacking firepower could pose serious problems for Real Madrid’s defense, which has failed to keep a clean sheet in its last six matches across all competitions, raising significant concerns about their ability to withstand the pressure.
That resilience will certainly be tested at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern have suffered just one defeat in their last 28 Champions League matches, recording 22 wins and 5 draws.
