This is the 27th meeting between the two European giants. Real Madrid have won 12 of the contests while Bayern have won 11. The Germans have not won in the last seven meetings. The last victory was in 2012 when Bayern won the home leg of their tie 2-1 and then progressed on penalties after the second leg finished 2-1 to Real.
Bayern Munich beat Frankfurt 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday with Harry Kane scoring both goals. I hope we can take this confidence into Tuesday’s game,” Kane said after the match. Now we’re going to completely focus on the game against Real. It’s going to be tough. We need to reach the levels we showed against Arsenal, maybe even more. Real has a fantastic team and a great history in this competition. I’m really looking forward to the atmosphere in the arena.”
Harry Kane has wasted no time settling in to life in Germany with Bayern Munich. The England striker has scored 35 goals in 31 games in the Bundesliga since his switch from Tottenham Hotspur last summer. The old European Cup tournament, which was first contested in 1955 and was played solely as a knock-out competition, was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992.
The trophy that will be held aloft by the winning team has been the same design since 1967. [It] is a new game and new history will be written,” the Real Madrid manager said in the news conference. We believe in ourselves, even though we’re up against a team with real individual quality. We have huge respect for Bayern. They have shown their class in the Champions League and knocked out Arsenal. It’s a club with a lot of history and experience.
The goal hasn’t deterred the home side and the Germans immediately push the Spaniards back to the edge of their box. The formula for this game seems quite clear.
