Match at Allianz Arena, Munich, on 18 March 2026 in the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final. Bayern arrive as one of the competition’s form sides, sitting 2nd in the overall table with 7 wins from 8 and 22 goals scored. Atalanta are 15th in the overall ranking, with 4 wins and 10 goals scored from 8 matches.
Squad Availability
Bayern face a heavy absentee list. Alphonso Davies (hamstring), Hiroki Ito (muscle), Cassiano Kiala (ankle), Joshua Kimmich (suspension), W. Mike (hip), Jamal Musiala (ankle), Bara Ndiaye (inactive), Michael Olise (suspension) and Sven Ulreich (muscle) are all ruled out. Olise’s absence is a major blow, having contributed 3 goals and 5 assists in this Champions League campaign. Manuel Neuer is doubtful with a calf problem and will face a late fitness test. However, key attacker Harry Kane, the club’s leading scorer in this competition with 8 goals, is fit and available, as is creative winger Serge Gnabry (2 goals, 4 assists).
Atalanta Availability
Atalanta are in better shape numerically. Yunus Musah is suspended, while forward Giacomo Raspadori is doubtful with a thigh injury. Core attacking options Gianluca Scamacca, Charles De Ketelaere and Lazar Samardžić are all available.
In attacking terms, Bayern lose significant creativity and secondary scoring through Musiala and especially Olise, while Atalanta’s main strike force remains intact, with only depth and rotation options affected.
