Predicted teams Real Madrid-Bayern Munich: Three expected changes from the 2-2 draw in the first leg

Real Madrid They face Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu (KO: 21:00 CEST) for a place in the Champions League final at Wembley next month, just days away from Los Blancos securing their 36th La Liga title. Borussia Dortmund await the winner, with the point level after a 2-2 draw in Bavaria.

Few changes are expected from the first stage, with AS Diary question whether Aurelien Tchouameni returns to central defense in place of Nacho Fernandez, allowing Eduardo Camavinga to slot into midfield. Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal will be back from suspension, and will replace Lucas Vazquez at right back.

Bayern lost Raphael Guerreiro to injury at the weekend, and the only change expected by Thomas Tuchel is the return of Matthijs de Ligt in central defense in place of Kim Min-Jae – although Marca believe he will retain his place I believe that Camavinga will start in place of Nacho. Kingsley Coman and David Alaba remain out, and Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Andriy Lunin will start in goal ahead of Thibaut Courtois, despite the latter's return this weekend.

However, it seems that both managers are satisfied with the lineups from the first stage, feeling that there is enough margin for improvement to win the tie as things were more or less. Manuel Neuer said in the build-up that they knew how to hurt Madrid, while Ancelotti said that there were many who would be better in a defensive sense at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Brand Planned trainings:

Real Madrid: Lunin; Carvajal, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Kroos, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham; Vinicius, Rodrygo.

Bayern Munich: Newest; Kimmich, Dier, Kim, Mazraoui; Laimer, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Muller; Kane.
