List of matches

[edit]

Although they have never met in a final, Real Madrid versus Bayern is the match that has historically been played most often in the Champions League/European Cup with 28 matches (thirteen wins for Madrid, eleven wins for Bayern, with four draws). More importantly, they have been drawn against each other in the knockout stage 26 times and eight times in the semi-finals, more than any other pair.[11][12]

During the 2010s, the two teams met in the 2011–12 Champions League semi-finals, which ended 3–3 on aggregate (Bayern won 3–1 on penalties after extra time, but lost the final at their own stadium), and then at the same stage in the 2013–14 edition with Real Madrid winning 5–0 on aggregate on their way to winning the competition.[13] They were also drawn together in the 2016–17 quarter-finals; Real Madrid won 6–3 on aggregate after extra time and subsequently lifted the trophy.[11] The following year, they met in the semi-finals, with Real Madrid again progressing 4–3.[14] Until the 2018–19 season, when they were twice defeated in Madrid by three-goal margins,[15][16] Real's biggest loss at home in the Champions League had been at the hands of Bayern on 29 February 2000, 2–4.[17]
