Champions League: All to play for as Madrid host Bayern at the Bernabeu

It's all to play for in the Spanish capital on Wednesday night as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich collide in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

The spoils were shared in Munich last week as Vinicius Junior scored the first and final goals in a 2-2 draw. The Brazilian made the most of an overzealous Kim Min-jae to ensure Los Blancos took a result into the return leg.

However, Bayern, despite losing at the weekend, will take plenty of inspiration heading into Wednesday's monumental bout. The Germans were impressive for much of the first leg and a more clinical first half would have surely seen them take a lead to the Bernabeu.

These two European behemoths have clashed many times on this grand stage, with Madrid, who were crowned La Liga champions at the weekend, typically coming out on top. Bayern, however, have a pretty impressive record at the Bernabeu, although Carlo Ancelotti's side very rarely exited this competition having avoided defeat away from home in the first leg. The La Liga champions have advanced from 18 of their previous 19 such ties.

Expect Wednesday night to be drenched with heritage and chaos, with the victor advancing into the June 1 final at Wembley.

The hosts enter the second leg with a clean bill of health and Ancelotti will welcome Dani Carvajal back into his starting lineup after he missed last week's draw in Munich through suspension.

Carvajal, who started against Cadiz on Saturday, will replace Lucas Vazquez at right-back.

Toni Kroos, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, and Antonio Rudiger are among the players who earned rests at the weekend.

Bayern, on the contrary, have a lengthy list of potential absentees.

Raphael Guerreiro is set to miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury, while Eric Dier is a doubt with a head issue. Bouna Sarr and Sacha Boey won't feature.

Matthijs de Ligt has returned to training and should be in contention for the second leg.
