A very high-level shock to kick off these semi-finals. Bayern Munich hosts the Liga leader at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League semi-final first leg, Tuesday April 30. The Munich side, who have yet to win any trophies this season, want to gain an advantage on the road to the final before traveling to the Spanish capital. To do this, it will be necessary to dominate Real Madrid, an impressive defeat of the reigning European champions in the quarter-finals, and undefeated since January.

The two teams, who have each won a C1 in the last four years, have not crossed paths on the European scene since the 2017-2018 season, already at the semi-final stage. At the time, the Madrilenians had made the difference in the first leg in Germany and qualified for the final (2-2, 2-1), which they would then win. Will it be the same this season?
Follow the meeting.
