Bayern Munich will look to salvage a disappointing season when it takes on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinal.
The Bavarians will host the first leg on Tuesday, aiming to take an advantage heading back to the Spanish capital ahead of next Wednesday’s second leg.
Bayern has already lost its Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen, and was stunned in the German cup against third-tier Saarbrücken. Failure to win the Champions League, then, would mean the rarest of events: a trophy-less season in Munich.

Bayern will have a number of key players either missing through injury or facing a late fitness test, which won’t make things easy against the Spanish giants.
Madrid is cruising toward a La Liga title, and is aiming to complete a double by taking back the Champions League title that Manchester City clinched last season.
The winner of this tie will advance to the final, where they’ll face the winner of the other semifinal between Borussia Dortmund and PSG.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
