Quarts de finale Ligue des champions : Le Real a débuté avec un onze inédit face au Bayern
Real Madrid made Champions League history by fielding, for the first time, a starting eleven without any Spanish players against Bayern Munich. This unprecedented event contrasts sharply with the Merengues' elimination after a spectacular 4-3 match.
Perhaps a minor detail for some, but a powerful symbol for Madrid supporters. This Wednesday, for the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich (3-4), Real Madrid fielded a starting eleven unprecedented in its history in the competition: no Spanish player was in the starting lineup.
A bold choice that reflects the evolution of the Real Madrid squad in recent years. In defense, Dean Huijsen remained on the bench, with Alvaro Arbeloa preferring the center-back pairing of Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão. On the left flank, Ferland Mendy started, ahead of Álvaro Carreras and Fran García.
In midfield, Dani Ceballos and Dani Carvajal started the match on the bench, as did Gonzalo García in attack. This is a rare situation for the Spanish club, historically rich in national talent.
Despite Thiago Pitarch's late introduction (90th minute), this starting eleven will remain a first in Real Madrid's European history. An evening also marked by Los Blancos' elimination.
