Across Champions League history, Los Blancos have only lost three times at home to German opposition, with Bayern responsible for two of those rare defeats in 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons. Since Schalke's 2014-15 win at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid has established a fortress against Bundesliga teams.
Even when playing at temporary venues like the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, Madrid has maintained control against German opposition, including victories against Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin, RB Leipzig and Stuttgart.
