Real Madrid are set to finish a second consecutive season without silverware after their Champions League elimination, with focus turning to Jürgen Klopp to lead Los Blancos next season.
Los Blancos were beaten 4-3 in Bavaria on Wednesday night, crashing out 6-4 on aggregate in the quarter-final tie. This result has effectively sealed the fate of head coach Álvaro Arbeloa.

Attention has now shifted to who will take over at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Jürgen Klopp emerging as the club’s primary target.
The 43-year-old, who took charge in January, is now expected to leave the club this summer as Real Madrid move toward a disappointing, trophyless campaign.
The defeat was not without controversy, with Madrid angered by Eduardo Camavinga’s second yellow card for preventing Bayern from taking a quick free-kick.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Madrid’s hierarchy are strong admirers of Klopp but are awaiting a clear signal from the German before making a formal approach.
Klopp, who recently stepped away from management to take a break, has yet to confirm his next move, leaving Madrid in a holding pattern as they assess their options.
For now, Real Madrid remain focused on Klopp, the coming weeks are expected to be decisive as the Spanish giants plan their next move.
