Champions League 2014: Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich Semi-Final

The second Champions League semi-final of the week again takes place in Madrid; this time the Santiago Bernabeu plays host to two of the heavyweights of European football.

Bayern Munich travel to Spain having already secured the Bundesliga title in record time per John Drayton of the Daily Mail.

They face a Real Madrid side buoyed from their Copa del Rey victory over Barcelona and still in with a shout of the La Liga title.

Importantly, the LFP postponed Real's weekend fixture against Real Valladolid, per HeathGCF of Inside Spanish Football, to allow Los Blancos more time to prepare for the game.

After an extended injury lay-off, Carlo Ancelotti is preparing to welcome back talisman Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese noted how much better he was feeling, per Goal.com.
