Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: How & When to Watch

Rabat – Bayern Munich host Real Madrid tonight at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final, with a place in the semi-finals on the line.

Los Blancos come into the match under pressure after a 2-1 home defeat in the first leg, followed by a 1-1 draw against Girona in La Liga that left them trailing FC Barcelona in the title race.

Bayern, meanwhile, arrive in dominant form after a 5-0 victory over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga, extending their unbeaten run while also reinforcing their status as favorites heading into the decisive clash.
