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.

90' - Juventus defender Mehdi Benatia is booked for a foul on Marco Asensio.
Three minutes of added time to come.
90+3' - Penalty to Real Madrid and a red card for Gigi Buffon!
Michael Oliver points to the spot for a push on Lucas Vazquez by Mehdi Benatia... and then spectacularly sends Gigi Buffon off after a furious protest by the legendary goalkeeper.
Wojciech Szczesny is now coming on in place of Gonzalo Higuain to try and save this penalty and take the tie to extra-time.
Incredible drama at the Bernabeu!
GOAL! Real Madrid 1-3 Juventus (Ronaldo pen, 90+7)
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Cristiano Ronaldo rifles the ball into the top corner.
No chance for Wojciech Szczesny.
Full-time - Real Madrid 1-3 Juventus (Agg: 4-3)
Absolutely unbelievable.
Real Madrid are into the last four in the most dramatic of circumstances.
A first-half Mario Mandzukic brace followed by Blaise Matuidi's second-half strike looked certain to send the match to extra-time until that 97th-minute Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.
What a week of Champions League football we've had.
What an incredible night of Champions League football!
The other game between Bayern Munich and Sevilla was a bit of a damp squib, with the Germans going through 2-1 on aggregate after a 0-0 draw in Bavaria.
All that's left for me to do now is thank you for tuning in and point you in the direction of Miguel Delaney's match report...
Goodnight!
