The Champions League quarter-finals take centre stage this week, and on Tuesday evening, Bayern Munich make the trip to Spain to face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bayern can end Madrid hoodoo
Real Madrid have won the last four UEFA two-legged ties against Bayern Munich, but the German side could take a big step towards halting that run with victory at the Bernabeu now.
They are favourites to win in the Spanish capital and boast excellent credentials. Bayern’s 22 goals in the league phase were the joint-second most, and they thumped 10 past Atalanta in the previous round over two legs.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s Real Madrid side were beaten 2-1 by Mallorca at the weekend, their second La Liga loss in five games. They were convincing winners against Man City in the last round, but Pep Guardiola’s side didn’t fire at all in the first leg here.
That was Madrid’s only clean sheet in eight home games since mid-January and Bayern’s high-tempo attacking focus can cause major problems.
Leg 1: Bayern Munich to win @ 6/5
Kane to lead the charge
Bayern were without Harry Kane at the weekend, but the knock he sustained on England duty is of the minor variety, and he should be back in the side here from the start.
Kane has 14 goals in his last 13 Champions League games and 14 in 10 across all competitions, most recently for Bayern.
He should get ample opportunity to add to his tally against this Madrid defence and there is no more lethal finisher in Europe.
Leg 2: Harry Kane anytime goalscorer @ 1/1
Vinicius Junior key for the home side
Kylian Mbappe leads the Champions League scoring charts with 13 goals this season, while Vinicius Junior has five goals and four assists.
The Brazilian was rested for the weekend trip to Mallorca, coming on for the last half hour after representing his country against France and Croatia.
Prior to the international break, Vinicius Junior had scored four goals in two games, netting braces against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.
He’s a key man in big games and it shouldn’t be a shock if he gets on the scoresheet again in the Champions League.
Leg 3: Vinicius Jnr anytime goalscorer @ 19/10
