Real Madrid vs Bayern München: UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals fixture between Real Madrid and Bayern München is scheduled in Madrid on 7 April 2026. Real Madrid arrive with 15 points and a goal difference of 9 from 8 matches, while Bayern München boast 21 points and a goal difference of 14 over the same number of games.

Real Madrid Availability

Real Madrid face several absences. Dani Ceballos (Calf Injury) is sidelined. T. Courtois (Thigh Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option in goal. F. Mendy (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined, reducing depth at left-back. Rodrygo (Knee Injury) is sidelined, trimming Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking rotation. Key attacking leaders Kylian Mbappé (13 goals, 1 assist) and Vinícius Júnior (5 goals, 4 assists) are available and expected to shoulder the scoring burden.

Bayern München Availability

Bayern also have issues to manage. C. Kiala (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. W. Mike (Hip Injury) is sidelined. B. Ndiaye (Inactive) is sidelined. S. Ulreich (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, narrowing goalkeeping cover. Crucially, H. Kane (Injury) is doubtful; his 10 goals make his status a potential major blow if he cannot feature.

Impact Summary

Real Madrid lose depth rather than primary scorers, keeping most of their attacking output intact. Bayern’s overall threat is heavily tied to H. Kane; his doubtful status places significant pressure on supporting creators such as M. Olise and S. Gnabry to compensate if he does not start.
