This Wednesday evening, the UEFA Champions League will complete its semi-final lineup with two more thrilling quarter-final matches. Real Madrid is hoping to overturn the result at home against Arsenal, while Bayern Munich faces a tough task away against Inter.
Tonight promises plenty of action as the remaining quarter-finals unfold. Arsenal and Inter hold the upper hand after winning their respective first-leg matches, but their opponents aren’t giving up just yet.
Real Madrid and Bayern are both aiming for comebacks—though Madrid faces the tougher road, having lost 3-0 in London. Ancelotti’s men have slim chances of turning things around, but nothing is impossible in football.
Confidence runs high at the Bernabéu, where players are expected to give it their all, even without some key squad members due to injury. Meanwhile, Arsenal is calm and composed, entering the match with a comfortable lead and boosted by their dominant home performance. French referee François Letexier will officiate, with many still seeing Madrid as favorites thanks to their pedigree.
The other clash, Inter vs. Bayern, remains more balanced after Inter’s 2-1 away win in Munich. The Bavarians have proven they can win on the road, but Inter’s solid defense and the tactical mind of Simone Inzaghi make this a completely different challenge.
The last time these two met at the San Siro, Bayern came out on top—but much has changed since then. Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić will be in charge of this showdown, which, at least on paper, has no clear favorite.
