Tuesday will be do or die for Real Madrid, as the 10-time Champions League winners host Wolfsburg in the 2nd leg of their quarter-final match-up.
The Spanish heavyweights will welcome the Bundesliga side bearing a 2-0 defeat from the 1st leg, with Los Blancos having fallen to a shock defeat at the Volkswagen Arena.
However, Zinedine Zidane’s boys head into the fixture on the back of a confidence-boosting 4-0 win against Eibar, and with Cristiano Ronaldo firing at all cylinders. Will Les Merengues overturn the result and progress?
Team news – who’s fit and who’s not?
Fortunately for both sides, and the fans, Real Madrid and Wolfsburg won’t be missing too many key players, as only a few players are on the sidelines.
Raphael Varane (calf) and Abner (knee) are Los Blancos’ only absentees, with Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos and Keylor Navas set for returns to the starting eleven.
Sebastian Jung (knee) is out, whilst Daniel Caligiuri (groin) is a doubt for Die Wölfe. Center-back Dante is expected to feature against Cristiano and Co. once more despite seeing red in the Bundesliga over the weekend.
Head to head
These two sides have only met on one previous occasion, and it was Les Merengues who came out defeated, losing 2-0 in Germany.
Nonetheless, Real Madrid boast an excellent home record against teams from the Bundesliga, having won 22, drawn 4, and lost only 3 games in 29 run-ins.
However, the Madrid’s giants were defeated at Santiago Bernabeu last season by German side Schalke 4-3 in the Champions League, though Los Blancos still progressed nonetheless.
