Match at Allianz Arena, Munich, on 18 March 2026 in the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final. Bayern arrive as one of the form sides in Europe, with 7 wins from 8 and a +14 goal difference (22 scored, 8 conceded). Atalanta have 4 wins from 8, a balanced goal record (10-10), and come in as dangerous underdogs.
Squad Availability
Bayern are heavily depleted. Alphonso Davies (hamstring), Hiroki Ito (muscle), Cassiano Kiala (ankle), Joshua Kimmich (suspension), W. Mike (hip), Jamal Musiala (ankle), Bara Ndiaye (inactive), Michael Olise (suspension) and Sven Ulreich (muscle) are all ruled out. Manuel Neuer is doubtful with a calf problem and faces a late fitness test. The absence of Olise is a major blow to Bayern’s creativity: he has contributed 3 goals and 5 assists in this Champions League campaign.
For Atalanta, Yunus Musah is suspended, while Giacomo Raspadori is doubtful with a thigh injury. The rest of their attacking core, including Gianluca Scamacca, Charles De Ketelaere and others, is expected to be available.
Impact
Impact-wise, Bayern lose a significant portion of their usual attacking supply from Musiala and especially Olise, though top scorer Harry Kane (8 goals in this competition) and creator Serge Gnabry (2 goals, 4 assists) remain fully fit and available to carry the offensive load.
