The second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will take place tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu, where the aggregate score is 2-2. Bayern Munich will travel to Spain, but what they don't realize is that Real Madrid has invited a Bayern legend to the stadium to watch the game. BILD reports that Real Madrid invited Bayern legend Oliver Kahn to the Santiago Bernabéu for the game, but Bayern did not invite him. This will be Oliver Kahn's first live Bayern game since he was sacked in May 2023. Kahn was the CEO of football of the German giants.

Kahn joined Bayern Munich as part of the executive board of the club in 2019, and in 2021, he became the CEO of the club, replacing a retired Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The German legend played at Bayern Munich as their goalkeeper from 1994 to 2008. Kahn is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time; the German won a Euros with Germany in 1996, was a runner-up to the 2002 World Cup, and placed third in the 2006 World Cup.
Kahn has won multiple trophies with Bayern Munich during his career. With Bayern, Kahn has lifted the Champions League, eight Bundesliga titles, one UEFA Cup, six German Cups, one Intercontinental Cup, and six German League Cups. The former keeper made a total of 632 appearances for Bayern in all competitions, where he conceded a total of 592 goals and kept 247 clean sheets. Kahn will support his former club but Bayern fans are confused as to why the club allowed Real Madrid to invite him over themselves.
Thomas Tuchel on Real Madrid
Bayern's manager, Thomas Tuchel, spoke ahead of the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Tuchel said, "They're [Real Madrid] obviously one of the biggest clubs in the world. We're also a big club in Europe. That's why it's a great match-up. We're in the semi-final to reach the final. We're playing tomorrow to get to Wembley and nothing else."
Tuchel on facing the 'legend' of Real Madrid: "All the prep has been about content. We don't talk about the legend. It's one of the most difficult stadiums to win in, but it's not impossible. We had a very good first leg, but unfortunately didn't win. Given they're at home, it's… pic.twitter.com/X4CcYksyni
