Real Madrid has never been so close of winning their 10th European title, but to advance to the final in Lisbon they need to close the deal when they visit Bayern Munich this Tuesday at 14:45 PM ET at the Allianz Arena, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal.

Real Madrid leads the way 1-0, but they know things could get ugly in Germany, where they have never beaten Bayern Munich before.  Madrid has been in their last three Champions League semifinal, losing all of them.

“For me, it is a dream to win the Champions League,” Madri’s Sergio Ramos told UEFA.com. “I am very lucky to have won nearly every title at a professional level, but there is still the Champions League to win. In no way has it ever been an obsession or a special love, but when there is something missing from your CV, it grabs your attention. It means a bit more. It’s not a constant obsession, but it would be a dream come true. To finally lift the trophy would be very satisfying.”

Bayern Munich was in the last two finals, losing in 2012 against Chelsea and winning against Borussia Dortmund last year.  They want to be the first team to win back to back title since AC Milan in 89-90.

“The tension is high, of course. We are in the semis and everyone is looking forward to the game. It should be a great atmosphere. I knew before their match against Osasuna how good Madrid are and what fantastic players they have.” Bayern coach Joseph Guardiola said.

Real Madrid is listed +350 to win in Germany; Bayern Munich is -145 and the draw is +300.
