Team News: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale in Real Madrid XI

Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo have both been named in the Real Madrid XI for tonight's Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich in Germany.

The pair have struggled with illness and injury respectively in recent weeks, but have been named in the team.

Iker Casillas starts in goal for the visitors, while the remainder of the team is as expected, with Angel di Maria joining Xabi Alonso and Luka Modric in midfield.

Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, selects skipper Phillip Lahm at right-back. As a result, Rafinha drops to the bench and Thomas Muller comes into an attacking midfield position.

Javi Martinez and Mario Gotze remain on the bench, however, with Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger both selected in midfield.

Madrid will take a slight advantage into the match following a 1-0 win in the first leg last week.
