Vincent Kompany’s side head into this clash on the back of a commanding 5-0 win over St Pauli at the weekend, a result that also saw them set a new record of 105 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches.
The Bavarian giants were arguably the superior side in the first leg at the Bernabeu, and with greater clinical edge, they could have put the tie beyond Madrid’s reach.
Bayern are currently on a 15-game unbeaten run across all competitions and have suffered just one defeat at home all season. They also hold a commanding 12-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga and could wrap up the title as early as this weekend.
The German champions have won all five of their European home matches this season, although their recent record against Spanish opposition is less encouraging, having lost seven of their last eight UEFA two-legged ties against teams from Spain.
Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry have both returned to full training, and aside from Lennart Karl and Sven Ulreich, Kompany has a fully fit squad to choose from.
A late goal from Kylian Mbappe kept Real Madrid’s hopes alive in the tie, but the reality remains that they are staring at the possibility of ending the season without a major trophy.
Back-to-back disappointing results against Mallorca and Girona have tilted the La Liga title race firmly in Barcelona’s favour, and life has not been straightforward for Alvaro Arbeloa following Xabi Alonso’s departure.
However, Madrid’s pedigree in this competition cannot be overlooked. Few teams are as capable of overturning adversity on the European stage - a quality that has defined their success and helped them secure a record 15 Champions League titles.
Los Blancos have also enjoyed strong results against German opposition, winning each of their last nine UEFA two-legged ties against Bundesliga sides, while remaining unbeaten in their last four visits to the Allianz Arena. They are certain to fight until the very end.
On the injury front, Thibaut Courtois (thigh) and Rodrygo (ACL) remain unavailable, while Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended after picking up his third yellow card of the competition in the first leg.
