On Tuesday, Real Madrid face off with Bayern Munich in the second leg of their quarter-final match-up in the Champions League. An exciting affair is expected, as both sides stand a chance of progressing to the semi-final.
However, the odds are in Los Blancos favor. The Madrid giants boast a 2-1 lead from the first-leg and have home advantage in the reverse fixture.
Zinedine Zidane’s men are in the driving seat. Furthermore, stats show that if they beat Bayern Munich, they could go on to win a second consecutive Champions League title – their 12th in history – becoming the first club to win back-to-back titles.
The reason: every time Real Madrid have beaten the Bundesliga giants in the last 8 or last 4 in the modern competition, they have gone on to lift the trophy. Three times have Los Blancos eliminated die Roten in the quarter or semi-finals, with the Madrid giants winning their famous Octava, Novena, and Decima titles.
The first of these three meetings came in 1999/00, with Les Merengues beating the Bavariana 3-2 on aggregate. Real Madrid met Valencia in the final before lifting their eighth prize.
The next Champions League knockout stage meeting between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich came in 2001/02. The Spanish giants won 3-2 on aggregate again en route to their ninth title.
Their next meeting came years later, in 2013/14. Carlo Ancelotti, now the Bayern Munich manager, was at the helm of Los Blancos. The Madrid giants thrashed their rivals 5-0 in the semis before winning their 10th crown.
