MUNICH: Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich head to Spain on Tuesday to take on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, brimming with confidence and widely regarded as one of Europe’s most complete teams. Their momentum is further boosted by the expected return of star striker Harry Kane.
Despite being record 15-time champions, Real Madrid have endured an inconsistent season.
However, the Spanish giants remain synonymous with dramatic turnarounds in this competition. Just when doubts began to surface over their European dominance, Madrid delivered a statement performance by dismantling Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, in the last 16.
With both sides carrying strong narratives into the tie, a compelling showdown is set at the Santiago Bernabéu.
