Bayern Munich face a tough task if they are to stop Real Madrid from reaching a third successive Champions League final tonight (22:45).

Zinedine Zidane’s side hold a 2-1 lead ahead of the second leg at the Bernabeu and are in pole position to secure their fourth European title in five years.

Cristiano Ronaldo is raring to go for tonight’s game after being rested for the 2-1 win over Leganes on Saturday.

Raphael Varane was also rested after picking up a knock, but returns to the starting line-up to face Bayern.

Dani Carvajal picked up an injury during the first leg and misses out, while Isco also fails to make the squad despite training yesterday.

Gareth Bale is again relegated to the bench, with Marco Asensio and Mateo Kovacic starting.
