Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich Preview
Having suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Mallorca in LaLiga on MD30, Real Madrid’s focus now turns to the Champions League. The Kings of Europe have won the tournament a record-breaking 15 times, and under the guidance of Alvaro Arbeloa, the Spaniards will be gunning for a 16th success.
Their rich history naturally makes them one of the 2025-26 Champions League outright favourites and although their domestic form has been fairly decent, the UCL is where Los Blancos really shine most. Just ask Manchester City – who were humbled 5-1 on aggregate in the R16.
And such results is where tonight’s opponents will be more than aware of what Real are capable. The Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich odds do actually favour the Bundesliga giants but they will need to be at their very best to leave Spain with a positive result.
Domestically, Bayern are coasting to the title having scored a century of goals in just 28 games. And in Europe, Die Roten thrashed Serie A side Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate in the last round. Tuesday’s clash promises to be a fascinating spectacle with football fans all over the world expected to tune in.
Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich H2H Record
In terms of the Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich H2H record in competitive fixtures, Los Blancos have 13 wins compared to Bayern’s 11. More notably, the Spaniards have gotten the better of Die Roten in the last four Champions League knockout clashes. Three in the semi-final and once in the quarter-final.
Their last success came in the last four in the 2023-24 campaign. The last time Real went on to win the Champions League. Something that is worth considering when it comes to Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich betting is that the Germans haven’t won over 90 minutes against Madrid in the last nine attempts.
The Bavarians last victory came in the semi-final first-leg back in 2012. Although Real won the second-leg, Bayern progressed on penalties. Interestingly, the European powerhouses have never met in the final – a feat which will stay intact for at least another season.
- Real Madrid wins – 13
- Draws – 4
- Bayern Munich wins – 11
