Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: Champions League semifinal preview

Tuesday's first leg at the Allianz Arena promises to be a fascinating encounter

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will renew their rivalry in the UEFA Champions League semifinals on Tuesday, with the first leg taking place at the Allianz Arena.

The two European giants have met on numerous occasions in recent years, with Real Madrid holding a slight edge in head-to-head encounters. However, Bayern Munich will be confident of getting a positive result at home, having won their last three Champions League matches at the Allianz Arena.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their impressive away form in the competition. They have won their last four away matches in the Champions League, scoring 12 goals and conceding just one.

The match is likely to be decided by the individual brilliance of the two teams' star players. Bayern Munich will be relying on the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané, while Real Madrid will be looking to Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior and Luka Modrić to make the difference.

The match is scheduled to start at 9pm CET on Tuesday, April 25. It will be broadcast live on BT Sport in the UK and on CBS in the US.
