Real Madrid host Bayern Munich in what will be the second leg of the Champions League Semifinals —20:45 CET—. Los Blancos earned a good 1-2 lead at the Allianz Arena last week, scoring two valuable away goals and obtaining the lead on aggregate. That will force Bayern to take some risks as they will need a two-goal win or a 2-3 to play the Final in Kyiv.
Dani Carvajal and Isco have not been able to recover in time for this game and will miss it. Nacho, however, is back with the team and could play in the right side of the defensive line, which is huge for Real Madrid as Lucas Vazquez isn’t a pure right-back and would have struggled defending Franck Ribery during 90 minutes.
Karim Benzema could also return to the starting lineup in order to unleash Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been quiet since Zidane decided to bench the French attacker.
