Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich– Predicted lineup and team news
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich– Predicted lineup and team news Real Madrid host Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday night in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Madrid go into the tie amid some domestic disappointment under Alvaro Arbeloa. Their most recent match was a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Mallorca on April 4, a result that stretched Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga to seven points.
Real Madrid team news Thibaut Courtois is expected to miss around six weeks with a thigh injury, so Andriy Lunin is likely to start in goal for this important match. Rodrygo is still out with a knee problem, while Jude Bellingham is being carefully managed after a hamstring issue. He has been named in the squad, but there is a good chance he begins on the bench to protect his fitness.
Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos are also both doubts for the game. There is some good news for Madrid, though, as Federico Valverde is set to return to the starting lineup after missing domestic action through suspension. Vinícius Junior is also expected to come back into the attack alongside Kylian Mbappé after being rested in part over the weekend.
Madrid will need to be careful, because six key players — Mbappé, Bellingham, Vinícius Junior, Aurelien Tchouameni, Álvaro Carreras, and Dean Huijsen — will be suspended for the second leg if they pick up a booking tonight. Real Madrid predicted lineup Possible Real Madrid starting XI: Lunin; Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni, Pitarch, Guler; Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Tuesday, 7th April. How to watch Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich? For viewers in the UK, the match is on TNT Sports, with coverage beginning at 7:00 pm BST on TNT Sports 1.
