Real Madrid’s quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich kicks off at 8pm BST on Tuesday 7 April at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Record-winners Real are seeking to add a 16th crown to their collection but will need to put their stuttering LaLiga title charge out of their mind, with shock defeat to Mallorca on the weekend seeing them drop seven points behind leaders Barcelona.

Bayern, on the other hand, are yet to properly stumble this term and sit nine points clear atop the Bundesliga, with the treble firmly in their sights.

Real Madrid have already slain a giant to get to this stage, dumping out Manchester City in the previous round, while Vincent Kompany’s side made easy work of Atalanta to reach the last eight, thrashing them 10-2 on aggregate.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Champions League action as Real Madrid host Bayern Munich in the quarter-final.
