If there is a place where the most complicated thing can be possible, it is the Santiago Bernabéu, for the Real Madrid. The white team is growing. It is superior and the magic falls on them to leave the visitor without answers. Once again this could happen.
He Real Madrid receives the sight of Bayern Munich after tying the first leg in Germany (2-2).
Toni Kroos was one of the best players in the first leg against Bayern Munich. The German shone – in what was his home – as he has done throughout the Champions League, directing Real Madrid’s game and providing quality balls to his teammates, as he did by assisting Vinicius for the first goal.
Tchouameni is available to play. News that is more of a confirmation because it was expected. Last Friday he suffered a severe blow to his left foot and alarm bells went off. Although they didn’t last long. The club, with the first tests, was able to confirm that it was nothing more than that, a bruise. That he was not in danger of playing against Bayern in Madrid. And the evolution has followed a normal course: it is now working normally and It’s ‘ok’ to play.
Possible starting 11 for both teams
A gala team is expected for Real Madrid, with the return of Dani Carvajal after serving a suspension in the first leg and players who are rested from the League such as Lunin, Rudiger, Mendy, Valverde, Kroos, Bellingham, Vinicius and Rodrygo. Camavinga will be in the center of the field. If, on the other hand, he remains as a pivot, Nacho or Militao will compete to be Rudiger’s partner.
FC Bayern will visit the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium without being able to count on the injured Kingley Coman, who suffers a hamstring injury, and Raphaël Guerreiro, who has an ankle injury. These two casualties are added to other less important ones such as Boey or Sarr, who have been in dry dock for some time. In addition, Thomas Tuchel will be very aware of De Ligt and Upamecano until the last minute, with minor problems. Both are in the call.
As for the starting eleven, everything indicates that Neuer will continue between the sticks, with a defense made up of Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier and Mazraoui. If in the end the Dutchman does not reach one hundred percent, Kim Min-Jae will continue to be the starter. Goretzka and Laimer aim for the double pivot, with Sané and Musiala on the wings. Müller and Gnabry are fighting for the other place in the three-quarter zone, while the spearhead will be for Harry Kane.
