Kompany looks forward to Real - Kane: "We fear no one" - Bayern vs. Real Madrid: Champions League quarterfinal showdown begins April 7
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will clash again in the Champions League quarterfinals. The first leg takes place in Madrid on April 7, with the return match in Munich a week later. Both teams are aiming for a spot in the semifinals, setting the stage for another intense battle between two European giants.
This will be the 29th meeting between the clubs in European competition. Their head-to-head record stands at 12 wins each, with four draws. Bayern's last encounter with Real Madrid ended in disappointment—a 2-2 draw at home followed by a 1-2 loss in the 2024 semifinal return leg.
Since Bayern's 2012 final run, Real Madrid have knocked them out four times in knockout stages. Despite this history, striker Harry Kane declared confidence ahead of the tie, stating, 'We fear no one.' Young midfielder Tom Bischof also anticipated 'an incredible back-and-forth' in the upcoming matches. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany called the draw 'fantastic,' praising the rich history of both clubs. He refused to name a favourite, insisting that both sides possess immense quality and experience at this level.
The quarterfinal tie begins on April 7 in Madrid before moving to Munich for the decisive second leg. The winner will advance to the semifinals, continuing their pursuit of Champions League glory. With a perfectly balanced record and high stakes, the matches promise drama and intensity.
