All or nothing: Bayern aim to take the final step to the Champions League final at Wembley in the semi-final return leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday at 21:00 CEST. After the 2-2 draw in the first leg at the Allianz Arena eight days ago, there will be a winning team this time, be it after 90 or 120 minutes or after a penalty shootout. Read about that and more in the facts on the match in Madrid.
Last results at the Bernabéu as encouragement
The last match between Real and Bayern at the Bernabéu ended in a 2-2 draw. This result would lead to extra-time on Wednesday.
Bayern were eliminated in the last three Champions League duels with Real Madrid, but the last two results after 90 minutes at the Bernabéu give hope. The 2-1 after regular time in the quarter-final return leg of the 2016/17 season would mean Bayern progress to the final this time. The 2-2 after 90 minutes in the semi-final return leg in 2017/18 would lead to extra-time.
Stats in Real's favour
The overall stats speak in favour of Real. The men from Madrid advanced in 18 out of 19 duels when they did not lose the first leg on the road. The only exception was the 2018/19 last sixteen, when Real lost 4-1 at the Bernabéu after a 2-1 victory away to Ajax. FC Bayern were eliminated after a first-leg draw at home in four out of five cases. It's high time to burnish the stats!
Top scorers go head-to-head - Kane set to break record
Harry Kane put Bayern in front from the penalty spot in the first leg.
Harry Kane (11) and Vinicius Junior (9), the two players involved in the most goals this campaign, go head-to-head. Kane scored his 29th Champions League in the first leg and is one goal short of Wayne Rooney, the most successful English scorer in Europe's premier club competition so far.
Müller set to catch up with Xavi
Thomas Müller boasts an incredible 150 Champions League appearances after the first leg. Only five players have made more CL appearances. Müller can draw level with Xavi (151) in Madrid. The two would be the players with the most Champions League appearances for one club in that case.
