Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are set to renew their storied rivalry for the 28th time in the Champions League, with the second leg of their semi-final clash taking place at the Bernabeu this evening.
Last week's showdown at the Allianz Arena ended in a 2-2 draw. The winner of this tie will face Borussia Dortmund in the final.
