Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will butt heads in the Champions League on Tuesday in what will be one of the most anticipated matches of the 2025/26 season.

The Bavarians will have some momentum after securing a dynamic, come-from-behind 3-2 victory over SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was ousted 2-1 in a shocking defeat at the hands of Mallorca.

Clearly, both squads were guilty of looking (at least) a little ahead. Bayern Munich was able to dig deep and secure a win, though — something that showed the squad’s mettle and resilience.

After the win, Bayern Munich was confident for the challenge that lies ahead at the Bernabéu.

Below, Abendzeitung (via @iMiaSanMia) compiled some statements from players addressing the big game:

Tom Bischof: “I’m sure we can beat Real Madrid”

Josip Stanišić: “We’re going into the game with 110% confidence.”

Lennart Karl: “We simply can beat anyone right now.”

Confidence is key, but words will not matter when the whistle blows in Spain. It will be a slugfest and both teams will need to be on-point for what they are about to face.
