Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals without defender Raul Asencio, who has been ruled out due to gastroenteritis. The team is looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg. Asencio's absence adds to the challenges, as they are already missing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and forward Rodrygo Goes due to injuries, while Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended but has traveled with the squad. Asencio had recently returned to the lineup after a brief absence, and his exclusion has sparked rumors of a rift with manager Alvaro Arbeloa. Despite this, the 23-year-old defender signed a new contract until 2031, suggesting he remains a key part of the team's future.
