Real Madrid's quest for record 15th European Cup continues in Germany
Los Blancos visit Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals
Real Madrid's quest for a record 15th European Cup hits Germany on Tuesday when they visit the third-most crowned side in Champions League history, Bayern Munich, in the first leg of the semi-finals.
The Spanish giants are looking to add to their record-breaking tally of 14 titles, while Bayern are aiming to reach their 11th final.
The match is sure to be a close encounter between two of the most successful clubs in European football.
Real Madrid will be looking to build on their impressive 3-1 victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals, while Bayern will be hoping to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The match will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and will kick off at 8pm CEST.

Key players
Real Madrid will be looking to their star-studded attack to lead them to victory, with the likes of Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde all in fine form.
Bayern Munich will be hoping that Robert Lewandowski can continue his impressive goalscoring form, while Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman will also be key players.
Prediction
This is a very difficult match to call, but I think Real Madrid will just edge it.
They have a slightly better squad and they are in slightly better form, so I think they will be able to get the win they need to take a slender advantage into the second leg.
