Bayern Munich has secured a place in the UEFA Champions League semifinals after defeating Real Madrid 4-3 on aggregate. The German club won the second leg of their quarterfinal tie 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, following a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Munich.
Goals from Leroy Sané and a late winner from Jamal Musiala sealed the victory for Bayern, overturning an early goal from Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior. The result ends a decade-long wait for Bayern to progress past Real Madrid in the competition, their last such victory coming in the 2016 semifinals.
The match was a tightly contested affair, with both teams creating significant chances. Bayern's defense, marshaled by Matthijs de Ligt, held firm under late pressure to see out the win. Thomas Tuchel's side will now face the winner of the Manchester City versus Paris Saint-Germain tie in the semifinals next month.
