Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich: Champions League Final Berth On The Line In Second Leg Clash

Can Bayern Munich build upon slim lead from first leg against Real Madrid?

By Karthick Arvinth, Goal.com

Jupp Heynckes’ side is vying to play in European football’s showpiece occasion for the second time in three years as it heads to the Spanish capital holding a slender lead.

PROBABLE LINEUPS

REAL MADRID
Casillas
Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo
Khedira, Alonso
Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo
Benzema

BAYERN MUNICH
Neuer
Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba
Gustavo, Schweinsteiger
Robben, Kroos, Ribery
Gomez

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has the luxury of selecting from a nearly full strength squad for Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich, with only Ricardo Carvalho (thigh) rated as an injury doubt.
Gonzalo Higuain and Kaka could return to the starting lineup for the must-win game, while Marcelo may be preferred to Fabio Coentrao at left back.

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes rested several of his stars for Saturday’s win at Werder Bremen and will play his strongest XI as he looks to build on his side’s 2-1 lead from the first leg.

Influential midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is set to retain his place in the starting XI, but defenders Daniel Van Buyten (foot) and Breno (knee) are both out.

Got to give the game to Real, they need a goal, stumped Barca though. The Bernabeu should be rocking. What's with all these links? It's on everywhere anyway.
