Real Madrid are slight favourites to qualify given their advantage from the first leg and with Gareth Bale likely to return the reigning Champions will have to be at their best here. Bayern Munich do not look as powerful as they were last season and as long as Real Madrid can keep their discipline they have a great chance of making the Champion League final.

The Bundesliga Champions have great form at home having won 20 of their last 24 UEFA Champions League home matches. Nevertheless, they have only won one of their last three there. But if we look at past history, they have won five of six ties after losing 1-0 away first.
The players to watch for Bayern Munich will be Mario Mandzukic, Thomas Muller, with Arjen Robben and Claudio Pizarro (who scored two goals last weekend). Pep Guardiola’s men did dominated in the first leg, but they just failed to convert their final chances.

As for Real Madrid, they struggle when on their trips to Germany. The Spanish side went to Germany in last season’s semi final first leg and were beaten by Borussia Dortmund. They went there again in the second leg of this season’s quarter final and lost 2-0 once again to Borussia Dortmund. Their record in Germany currently stands at W2 D6 L19.

Real Madrid have also lost five of their last 23 European away games and four of those have been in Germany. This is the third time they are playing in Germany after having faced Schalke in the round of sixteen, then Dortmund in the quarter- finals. However, their two-legged European ties record against Germany sides is W13 D8.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Match Preview :

Copa Del Rey’s Attraction:
The Copa Del Rey or the King’s Cup is an annually based football cup competition for the football teams of Spain. It is the oldest Spanish football competition and was found in 1903 for the first time. The winner of the King’s Cup goes to the UEFA Champions League but if the winner also qualifies for the UEFA Champions League then the loosing team of the final goes to the Europa League.

Barcelona Team News:
After Champions League elimination last week, and with title hopes in La Liga seriously dented following the defeat at Granada, Barça’s best chance of finishing the season with a trophy comes tomorrow in the Copa del Rey Final at Mestalla against Real Madrid.
Neither team arrives to the game in the best condition with Barça struggling with defensive injuries and Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the only goal of the game in the last Clásico cup final in 2011.

Tata Martino has named 24 players including the doubtful Marc Bartra, Gerard Piqué and Carlos Puyol and the injured Dos Santos and Cuenca for the trip to Valencia. Of all the first team squad players only injured keeper Victor Valdés has remained in Barcelona. Marc Bartra raised hopes that he can make it in time by training today with his team-mates though his participation tomorrow is still doubtful. Gerard Piqué and Carles Puyol both trained apart, Piqué seems to have little chance of playing but Puyol promised to give everything to be able to start.

Real Madrid Team News:
Real Madrid have been known to keep things tight at the back as they have kept clean sheets in all eight of their Copa del Rey matches to date. In the semi-finals they ran out 5-0 aggregate winners over La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid. They will most likely not have Cristiano Ronaldo as he is out with a hamstring injury for this clash. Therefore the responsility to get the goals will fall on Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
Last weekend Real Madrid showed they can do without Ronaldo when they beat Almeria 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. They will also want to avenge their defeat to Barcelona in the La Liga and their confidence have got better after they got to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has a tough decision to make on the participation of Ronaldo, Ronaldo will want to play, he always does but Ancelotti has to consider the consequences should Ronaldo play and aggrevate the injury he would more than likely miss the Champions League Semi final which is Real Madrid's true target this year. Ancelotti has alot of attacking talent at his disposal with Bale, Benzema, Di Maria, Moratta there is more than enough talent to allow Ancelotti to rest his star man.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid Preview :

Real Madrid took a giant stride towards the Champions League semi-final by winning the first leg of their quarter-final tie 3-0 last week but we all remember that Madrid were hammered 4-1 by a Robert Lewandowski-inspired Dortmund in the semi-final of the competition almost 12 months ago. The Polish striker scored all four goals as the Blancos were swept aside at Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund warmed up for their crunch clash with Real by beating Wolfsburg 2-1 on Saturday, moving them closer to Champions League football next season. With their key players picking up serious injuries one after another, the Millionaires were unable to mount a serious title challenge in Bundesliga.
Ancelotti's side hammered Real Sociedad 4-0 on Saturday to stay in the hunt for a treble of La Liga. They come from 3 consecutive wins scoring a total of 12 goals during that period and keeping three clean sheets.

Borussia Dortmund Team News:
Bayern Munich bound Robert Lewandowski (21) will likely lead the line along side Aubameyang (16) as the pair have now scored thirty seven goals between them in all competitions.  Coach Jurgen Klopp will be hoping this pair could pull off a miracle on Tuesday night although they failed to bother Real Madrid’s defence too much in the first leg. Manchester United’s reported target Marco Reus is another player in great form for the German side having scored eighteen goals in all competitions this season.

Real Madrid Team News:
Veteran goalkeeper Iker Casillas has been preferred when playing in the Champions League this year having featured in all nine of the competitions games and will more likely lineup again against the Germans for his tenth on Tuesday. Goals are a common thing for this Real Madrid side with Ronaldo the clubs current top scorer with an incredible forty five goals in all competitions!

Possible starting lineups:
Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Hummels, Papastathopoulos, Durm; Grosskreutz, Jojic, Sahin, Reus; Mkhitaryan, Lewandowski
Madrid: Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao; Modric, Alonso, Illarramendi; Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale
