Real Madrid enters the second leg against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League at Allianz Arena, hoping to overturn a 2-1 loss in the first leg at Santiago Bernabéu. However, coach Álvaro Arbeloa faces a significant dilemma due to Aurélien Tchouaméni's absence from the match after receiving a yellow card in the first leg.

Arbeloa is expected to make several changes to the lineup at Allianz Arena, most notably the return of Éder Militão to the starting lineup after his impressive performances in recent matches. Jude Bellingham is also expected to return to the lineup after his impactful substitution in the first leg.

The main issue lies in how to compensate for Tchouaméni's role in midfield, especially on the defensive side. Eduardo Camavinga is the closest option to fill this role, although he is a player who tends to move and push forward more than playing as a fixed anchor.

Arbeloa also has another option, which is to move Federico Valverde back to midfield alongside Thiago Beitarsh, with Bellingham playing on one of the flanks. This option provides the team with greater strength in defensive work.

There are also lesser possibilities, such as relying on Camavinga and Valverde together in midfield, or even deploying one of the defenders in the anchor position, solutions that previous Real Madrid coaches have used.

In the end, Arbeloa continues to study the available options to compensate for Tchouaméni's absence and attempt a comeback against Bayern Munich in Munich.
