Real Madrid host Juventus tonight in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with a place in the last four within reaching distance.

Zinedine Zidane’s men, who are looking to win the competition for the fourth time in five seasons, head into the second-leg clash with a 3-0 advantage after their storming victory in Turin last week.

The Spaniards will be without the suspended captain Sergio Ramos for the clash while Paulo Dybalal is unavailable for the visitors.

In the evening’s other quarter-final, Bayern Munich welcome Sevilla to the Allianz Stadium with a 2-1 lead to their name. The Bavarians are aiming to reach a seventh European semi-final in nine years.

Zidane: Ronaldo will be remembered like Di Stefano

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane this week claimed Cristiano Ronaldo will be remembered by the club's fans in the same way that the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano is remembered.

Of 33-year-old Ronaldo, who scored a stunning brace in last week's first leg against Juventus, Frenchman Zidane said:

"I am not thinking about being without Cristiano Ronaldo, this is what we have and we are happy.

"There are many people who still remember Di Stefano and rightly so. I am one of those people. They will also remember Cristiano Ronaldo at this club. We must enjoy this player."
