important events
2 minutes: A real answer to initial concerns until nerves calmed down. They did it again and eventually Bellingham was caught offside.
41 seconds: Big chance for Bayern! Sane is released by Kane through the inside left channel into the Real box. It’s a tough angle, but Sane can only defeat Lunin. He took a shot straight at the keeper. What a great start!
“Let’s go, boys!” Jude Bellingham shouts to his teammates as he applauds before Bayern’s kick-off.
The team is out! Bayern plays a red and white game, forcing Real into a dark blue change strip. At the Fussball Arena Munich, which UEFA insists we call the Allianz Arena, there was a wonderful atmosphere of anticipation that turned cold several times. It glows red at night in Bavaria. A huge banner praising the late great Emperor Franz Beckenbauer. Play Zadok the Priest (Version) briefly before heading out.
Post bag before the game. “I wasn’t a Spurs fan, but I was a big Harry Kane fan. I was very happy when Kane left. In the end he won a league silver medal with Bayern and Spurs management So, naturally, Bayern lose the Bundesliga crown and the management melodrama breaks out. So I hope Kane can lead Bayern to the Champions League title. Good old Harry deserves it.” – Mary Waltz
“Initially, I was pretty confused about this match. I don’t like either team, but one has to go through. So what do I do? After thinking about it (OK, maybe (about 5 minutes), I’ve come to a conclusion: As much as I’m happy that Harry Kane won’t win anything this season, I’m as happy as that Sergio Ramos armlock that dislocated Salah’s shoulder or that one in 2018. I can never forgive the elbow that concussed Karius in the final. Ramos is gone, but he has a suitable replacement in Dani Carvajal. I know it’s naive and unlikely. But I hope Real Madrid never wins anything again. Am I still bitter? ” – Joe Pearson
“People have pointed out that this is an old-style European Cup semi-final, but after the disappointing result in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1983, Europe’s elite clubs approached UEFA and succeeded in starting the so-called Champions Cup. That being said. League in the first place. As you know, the Cup Winners Cup winners defeated both Bayern and Real that year. In a parallel universe, 41 years later, the winner of tonight’s draw will face Aberdeen. Oh, well. What was wrong with Aberdeen? And what about Fitba in general?
“The Spanish word ‘It’s on’ is better translated as ‘Está en Marcha'” – Jorge Oróstica
“‘Ist zustand’ is nonsense. We need something like ‘Jetzt geht’s los!'” – Eric Schwab
“Google Translate, you’ve been fired” – The Guardian
Bayern and Real have played each other 26 times so far, all in the European Cup. 14 of those games made it to the semi-finals, so this is a summit between royalty. In total, Bayern have won four and Real three in the semi-finals, but the last two draws have been won by the Spaniards. Their most recent encounter was in the semi-finals of the 2017-18 season, with Madrid winning 4-3 on aggregate. Bayern’s home record against Real is W9 D1 L3 F26 A18.
Bayern Munich made three changes to their starting lineup from last Saturday’s 2-1 Bundesliga win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Rafael Guerreiro are on the bench, while Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Min-jae Kim will take the place of the injured Matthijs de Ligt. Harry Kane will lead the line.
Real Madrid made extensive changes to their squad following Friday’s 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in La Liga, but the starting XI for that game remained in place. There were only two people left. Aurélien Choameny and captain Nacho are the lucky ones. Thibaut Courtois, who was out for a long time after tearing his ACL in August last year, has returned and is on the bench. Jude Bellingham will face England colleagues Kane and Eric Dier.
