The Champions League returns this week with the first leg of some blockbuster quarter-finals.

Two former champions go head-to-head as Bayern Munich welcome Inter Milan to the Allianz Arena for the first leg of their last-eight tie, nearly 15 years on from the Italian side’s victory over their hosts this week in the 2010 final.

Vincent Kompany’s squad have a narrow edge over the visitors, having won five of their nine meetings in the competition so far, and won their most recent meetings in the 2022/23 group stage, 2-0 both home and away.

Bayern thrashed fierce rivals Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 across two legs in the last 16, while Inter overcame Dutch side Feyenoord 4-1 to reach the final eight.

Team news

Bayern suffered a blow in their last outing, a 3-1 win over Augsburg, as playmaker Jamal Musiala suffered a hamstring tear. The 22-year-old has been ruled out of Tuesday’s clash and will likely miss the rest of the season.

Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano are both out with knee injuries, while Manuel Neuer, who has a calf problem, and Kingsley Coman are doubts.

The visitors will assess Alessandro Bastoni after he was withdrawn at half-time in their 2-2 draw at Parma with a knee issue.

Mehdi Taremi, Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries are all out with injuries and Kristjan Asllani is set to miss the first leg through a one-game suspension for picking up a series of yellow cards.
