Bellingham will look to lead Madrid to a record-extending 15th European crown, while Kane will be looking to end his own personal trophy drought and drag Thomas Tuchel’s embattled side to a season-saving Champions League title.
Bayern and Real Madrid are no strangers to this stage. In fact, it is the most played match in the history of the Champions League and Real Madrid last triumphed against Bayern in the semi-finals in 2018 on their way to winning their 13th title in Kiev.
