Champions League Semi-Final: Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich – Bale a Major Doubt
The second UEFA Champions League semi-final tonight brings together two European giants as Real Madrid host Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabéu. It’s a high-stakes showdown between two clubs with contrasting football philosophies.
While Real Madrid have been boosted by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, concerns are growing over Gareth Bale’s availability. The Welsh winger is reportedly suffering from stomach pains and, according to Marca, is unlikely to start against the Bavarians.
Real’s medical staff sent Bale home from training on Tuesday to rest, holding out hope he might still recover in time. However, as of now, his participation remains highly uncertain. The club has yet to confirm his status definitively, stating on its official website that Bale has been rested and is “a doubt” for tonight’s crucial encounter.
