Real Madrid are just 90 minutes away from an appearance in their 18th European Cup final. They can book their ticket tonight against Bayern München, backed by a vociferous Bernabéu that will do all it can to help the team through another big European night with 20 European Cups on the pitch (14 for Real Madrid and 6 for Bayern). Ancelotti's boys head into the semi-final second leg well aware that this is a finely balanced tie, locked at 2-2 following the opener in Germany (9:00pm CEST). X await in the showpiece clash after knocking out X in the first semi-final.

Our stadium is sure to be a big factor if the team is to make the Wembley final, set for the 1st of June. It has proved a true fortress so far this campaign and has played a significant role in the team clinching LaLiga. The results speak for themselves - Ancelotti's boys are undefeated in their 22 competitive games at the Santiago Bernabéu this season (18 victories and 4 draws).

Unbeaten in the Champions League
But the numbers reflect far more than a solid Real Madrid on home turf. The team is enjoying a sublime Champions League campaign to date, still unbeaten in the competition with 7 wins and 4 draws. The fixture is a new chapter in the historic rivalry with Bayern, a match-up that has been repeated on 27 occasions (12 wins).

“We're excited for another magical night," said Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. Meanwhile, Carvajal reflected: “When it comes to a semi-final at your home ground, the motivation ensures your concentration levels are top-notch.” The Italian coach has a full squad at his disposal, with the exception of the injured Alaba, as they look to extend a superb 20-match unbeaten run (13 wins).
Bayern München
Tuchel's team head into the game having lost just once in their last 11 Champions League games (7 wins and 3 draws), which shows the magnitude of the task facing Real Madrid, up against one of the competition's leading marksmen. Harry Kane has hit 8 so far in Europe and is enjoying a phenomenal season, with 44 goals in 44 games across all competitions.
