Bayern Munich take on the visitors Inter in the first leg of UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 8th at Allianz Arena (Munich)ю
Bayern came dangerously close to losing the Bundesliga title in 2023. And although they strengthened their squad significantly afterwards, the following season turned into a failure — no trophies and just third place in the league. Vincent Kompany took over as head coach, an unexpected appointment at the time. On one hand, he helped Kane and company reclaim dominance domestically, leading the Bundesliga for most of the campaign. On the other hand, Bayern suffered a shocking early DFB-Pokal exit to Bayer Leverkusen and continue to show inconsistency in the Champions League. While they have reached the quarter-finals, their group-stage form was unconvincing — defeats to Barcelona, Aston Villa, and Feyenoord raised concerns. Even in the Round of 16, they were trailing Celtic in Glasgow before Alphonso Davies scored a late winner to make it 2-1. However, Bayern bounced back emphatically by dismantling Leverkusen 5-0 across both legs in the quarter-finals, showing their potential when at their best.

Inter are playing with maximum intensity right now. The Nerazzurri clinched the Scudetto last season, and the title race was practically over by spring. This time, the competition is closer, though Napoli remain the only real challenger as others have dropped off. Yes, Inter lost the Supercoppa — their first defeat in Milan under Inzaghi — but they remain on track in the Coppa Italia, currently competing in the semi-finals with a second leg of the derby still to come. In the Champions League, Inter won 6 out of 8 matches in the group stage, allowing them to skip the February play-off round and go straight into the Round of 16. There, they faced Feyenoord — the team that eliminated city rivals Milan — but Inter had little trouble, winning both legs. Lautaro Martínez has been in fantastic form, and the squad’s depth has allowed them to maintain high intensity despite a busy calendar.
Bayern have the edge historically, winning 5 out of 9 matches against Inter, including both meetings in 2022. However, one of Inter’s three victories came in the most important of all — the 2010 Champions League final. The Germans are considered clear favourites, but they’re dealing with several key absences and have a relatively inexperienced manager on the European stage. Inter should be able to avoid defeat in Munich.
Prediction for the match: Inter not to lose (X2).
