The Italian giants have enjoyed a strong Champions League campaign so far, finishing fourth in the group stage and dispatching Feyenoord 4-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16.
Inter Milan’s progress in the competition has been impressive, and they will provide a stern test for Bayern Munich. The two teams last met in the Champions League group stage in the 2022/23 season, when Bayern emerged victorious with 2-0 wins in both legs. However, Inter Milan’s squad has undergone significant changes since then, with the addition of players like Benjamin Pavard and Yann Sommer, who will face their former club.
The tie between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will take place on April 8/9 and 15/16, with the first leg in Munich and the second in Milan. Bayern Munich fans will be hoping that Sommer, who has a reputation for producing outstanding performances against his former club, does not repeat his heroics. The quarterfinal tie promises to be an exciting and challenging encounter for both teams.
Bayern Munich’s quarterfinal tie against Inter Milan is part of a congested and challenging schedule for the German giants. Sandwiched between the two legs of the Champions League tie is a crucial Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund, while away trips to Augsburg and Heidenheim also feature on the horizon. Bayern Munich’s squad depth and resilience will be tested to the limit as they navigate this demanding period.
