As the teams emerged onto the pitch, a gigantic Bayern shirt stretched across all three tiers of the stand, with two hands emerging from it, cradling a Champions League ball. Beneath it read: “It’s all in our hands”.

As early as 45 minutes before kick-off, the organised fan section had begun their support with deafening chants – though not for the entire period leading up to the kick-off. This was one of the reasons why the stadium gates opened significantly earlier than usual.

Even before kick-off, Spanish daily Marca warned that Real Madrid were heading into a “German hell”, adding, “The trees will be on fire in Munich!” Joshua Kimmich underlined that sentiment, publicly urging every supporter to arrive at the stadium in red on Wednesday night.
“Hello, dear fans! We’re now entering the crucial stage of the season. We players and you supporters all dream of these matches. We need you! We’ll give it our all, we’ll push ourselves to the limit! Come dressed in red and let’s go for it together!” The message was shared across the club’s social media channels.

FC Bayern Munich: Vincent Kompany is sticking with the same starting XI that took the field in the first leg.
Bayern entered the second leg clutching a 2-1 first-leg advantage. Manager Vincent Kompany stuck with the same starting XI as last week. Tom Bischof pulled out at the last minute with a “minor calf tear”, while Lennart Karl and Sven Ulreich also missed out through injury.
Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa, meanwhile, made four changes from the Bernabéu defeat, fielding a starting line-up without a single Spanish player for the first time in the club’s Champions League history.
