Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich today - Champions League | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti's side put in a dogged, resilient display to weather City's attacking storm at the Etihad, eventually prevailing on penalties to knock out the defending champions.

Next up is an equally difficult semi-final tie against Bayern Munich, who will no doubt be riled up by losing their status as Germany's best team for the first time since 2012.

GK: Andriy Lunin - The Ukrainian was the hero for Madrid in their quarter-final clash with Manchester City and should be well rested after Kepa donned the gloves against Real Sociedad.

RB: Lucas Vazquez - Carlo Ancelotti will be compelled to make an unexpected change at right-back due to Dani Carvajal's suspension. Consequently, Vazquez, who notably shone in El Clasico, is set to start in Munich.

CB: Nacho - Real Madrid's captain is moving onto pastures new this summer, but he'll be laser focused on getting to another final.

CB: Antonio Rudiger - The best centre-back in the world right now? Quite possibly. Marked Haaland out of both quarter-final ties and is equally as threatening at the other end of the pitch.

LB: Ferland Mendy - Hasn't featured for Madrid since the City contest but should be drafted back in. Possesses great pace and defensive awareness.

DM: Eduardo Camavinga - The Frenchman's versatility is a valuable asset for Madrid, with a return to midfield likely after turning out at left-back against Sociedad.

CM: Toni Kroos - As experienced as Thomas Muller, Kroos will play a crucial role in maintaining the composure of Madrid's younger players if the going gets tough.
