UCL Draw: Bayern Munich v Real Madrid in Quarter-Finals

Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Los Blancos have been very unlucky in the draw and they will travel to Germany in the first leg to meet one of the best teams of the continent. Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso will return to Santiago Bernabéu.

This time, Real Madrid were very unlucky in the draw. Los Blancos will have to face the German champion, Bayern Múnich, in the quarter-finals round. Zidane’s side will play the first leg at Allianz Arena and the second leg at Santiago Bernabéu.

The last time Real Madrid faced Bayern Múnich, Los Blancos raised the trophy in 2014. Real Madrid won 1-0 at Santiago Bernabéu thanks to a goal scored by Karim Benzema. In the second leg, Los Blancos thrashed (0-4) Pep Guardiola’s team with Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the four goals. Carlo Ancelotti was managing Real Madrid then and Los Blancos won the trophy in Lisbon, beating Atlético Madrid in the extra time.

However, in the history between Real Madrid and Bayern Múnich we’ve seen everything. The German team has also beaten several times the Spanish giants. The last time was in 2012, with José Mourinho on the bench. It was the semifinals and they arrived to the penalty shoot-out. Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos missed their penalties and Bayern arrived to their final, where they lost against Chelsea. Again, we can see one of the best games we could watch in the Champions League: Bayern v Real Madrid. Two giants with one goal.

The first leg will be played in the second week of April and the second leg will take place only one week later. In April, Real Madrid will face Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich twice and Barcelona.

The other quarter-finals games are Atlético Madrid-Leicester City; Juventus-Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund-Monaco. We’ll see an exciting round of quarter-finals of the Champions League.
