Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich visits Real Madrid on Tuesday in the Champions League quarterfinals high on confidence and looking like Europe’s most complete side, bolstered by the likely return of superstar striker Harry Kane.

Record 15-time winner Madrid has endured a difficult season, plagued by inconsistency, but have made a habit of pulling off the unexpected in this competition.

Just as it seemed its well of Champions League magic was running dry, Madrid produced its best performance of the season to crush Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the last 16.

Despite Madrid’s prestige and troupe of attacking stars — Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham included, as well as City hat-trick hero Federico Valverde — Bayern is arguably the favourite to lift the trophy.
