LIVE – Bayern Munich v Real Madrid: Commentary, updates, goals and stats for ChampionsLeague clash

Real Madrid require a strong performance tonight if they are to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit and knock Bayern Munich out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.

Bayern were deserving winners at the Santiago Bernabeu last week, even though their veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was named man of the match with a series of brilliant stops.

That should give Madrid confidence that they are still very much in this tie ahead of the return in Bavaria.

Boss Alvaro Arbeloa said: “I want my players to believe. That’s all I want. I’m convinced that the 25 of us going there will believe we can win and rise to the occasion.

“In Munich, they are convinced that, with the advantage they have and playing at home, they are favourites.

“But they will face white shirts, a round badge, and I’m sure we’ll put up a strong fight.”

Madrid stuttered to a 1-1 draw at home to Girona on Friday night, hampering their chances of winning La Liga, while Bundesliga leaders Bayern crushed St Pauli 5-0.

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid stats

• Bayern’s victory in the first leg ended a nine-game winless run for them against Madrid in the Champions League (D2 L7)
• Only once before have they won both legs of a knockout stage tie against Madrid in the competition, in the 2000/01 semi-finals (1-0 away, 2-1 at home)
• The two players who have made the most defensive line-breaking passes in the Champions League this season are Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich (17) and Madrid’s Arda Guler (16)
• Eight of Kimmich’s 17 have been for Michael Olise, which is the most from one player to a team-mate in this edition
• Bayern’s Harry Kane has scored in his last four Champions League games (6 goals) and could equal the longest scoring streak by an English player in the competition (5, by Steven Gerrard in 2007/08)
• Kane could also become the first player to score or assist in five consecutive Champions League appearances against Real Madrid (2 goals, 2 assists in his last 4)
• Nine of Mbappe’s 14 goals in the Champions League this season have been away from home. Should he find the net in this game, the forward would be the first player ever to score at least 10 away goals in a single edition of the competition
• Since the start of the 2013/14 season, Madrid (3) have the joint-most away wins against Bayern Munich across all competitions, despite only playing there four times during the period (also 3 wins in 17 games for Borussia Dortmund and 3 wins in 13 games for Borussia Monchengladbach)
• Madrid are unbeaten in their last four away games against Bayern (W3 D1). In the Bundesliga era (since 1963/64), only two sides have managed to go five in a row without losing away to Bayern: Werder Bremen (5, from 1989/1992 and 2007/2010) and Koln (5, from 2003-2010)
• Los Blancos have the most semi-final appearances in the history of the competition (33). If they are eliminated here, however, they will have failed to reach the semi-finals as many times in the last two seasons (2) as they did in the previous 14 editions combined, between 2010/11 and 2023/24 (2)
• Vinicius Junior made 17 runs in behind the opposition defensive line during the first leg; the most by a player against Bayern in the Champions League this season
• The winger has made the most runs in behind in this edition overall (150), as well as in the knockout stages (76)
