Bayern Munich are chasing their Champions League destiny this evening in Munich against Real Madrid as the Spanish giants come to Germany with a home goal to the good.
The German club will have to win at least 2-0 to go through to the Final, but an away goal from Madrid could poor on the pressure and see Pep Guardiola's side have a mountain to climb.
If there is a manager that knows how to get the better of Madrid at times it is Guardiola from all his years with Barcelona. However, this is not the same Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti is no slouch when it comes to getting his tactics right either.
Munich has sustained no further injuries in their domestic campaign obligations over the weekend and will look to put out their strongest side yet again.
On the Madrid side, although Gareth Bale is said to have a knock and be a game time decision, there really is no question that the Welshman will be called into action.
Bayern XI: Neuer: Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba; Martinez; Robben, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Ribery; Mandzukic.
Madrid XI: Casillas: Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Maria, Alonso, Modric; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
