Goal Scorer:

Bayern Munich
Thomas Tuchel has quite a few injuries to deal with as Sacha Boey, Gabriel Marusic, Bouna Sarr, Kingsley Coman, and Tarek Buchmann are all unavailable. Konrad Laimer and Matthijs de Ligt picked up an injury in their last outing and might be out for a while.

Dayot Upamecano’s availability is also a doubt. Meanwhile, Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, who have been nursing an injury for a while, should be back fit for this one. Jamal Musiala, who missed their last outing with tendon pain should be fit for this one. Bayern do have a boost as Alphonso Davies, who was suspended for the second leg against Arsenal, is back available.

The home team will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Manuel Neuer will be in goal. Joshua Kimmich and Davies should be the full-backs, while Eric Dier should feature in the heart of the defence alongside Kim Min-jae.

In their attempts to stop a star-studded Real Madrid attack, the Bayern Munich defenders will have the support of Aleksandar Pavlovic and Leon Goretzka, who will form the double pivot in the centre of the park.

While Gnabry will surely play a part in this fixture, he might not start. Mathys Tel and Thomas Muller could be the wingers. Meanwhile, Musiala should continue as the attacking midfielder, and Harry Kane should be leading the line for Bayern.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Kim, Dier, Davies; Goretzka, Pavlovic; Muller, Musiala, Tel; Kane

Real Madrid
The visitors have named an interesting squad for the semi-final first leg, with David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois both a part of it. But, neither of them will play a part in this fixture as they are not yet 100%

Dani Carvajal is suspended after having picked up a milestone yellow in the second leg against Manchester City. Apart from Carvajal’s suspension and the two injuries, Ancelotti has nothing else to worry about. The Italian tactician has a fully-fit squad available for selection, with Aurelien Tchouameni back after serving a suspension in their last Champions League outing.

The visitors will stick to the 4-4-2 formation, where Andriy Lunin will continue in goal. Lucas Vazquez will come in for the suspended Carvajal as the right-back, while Ferland Mendy will take charge on the left. While Eder Militao is back fit, but he won’t be risked here. So, Tchouameni could be the one starting in the heart of the defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.

In the centre of the park, Eduardo Camavinga will start alongside Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde. The trio will look to control the tempo. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham will be the attacking midfielder for the visitors behind the attacking duo of Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior.

Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Lunin; Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior
Prediction: Bayern Munich 1-2 Real Madrid
