Team News
Real Madrid will welcome back Alvaro Arbeloa for tonight's Champions League semi-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund following the defender's suspension for the first leg last week. Pepe is expected to drop to the bench, meaning Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane will partner each other at center back. Angel Di Maria will return after the birth of his daughter limited him to the substitutes bench in Germany last week while Cristiano Ronaldo has overcome a minor thigh injury. Gonzalo Higuain is likely to join the Portuguese' in attack and get the nod ahead of Karim Benzema. Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp isn't expected to make any changes to last week's starting XI. Lukasz Piszczek has shirked off a groin problem and is likely to re-join Neven Subotic, Mats Hummels and Marcel Schmelzer in defence.
Key Stats
Real Madrid are hoping to reach their 13th European Cup final. Borussia Dortmund are vying to reach only the second in the club's history. The last time they reached the final was 1997, when they prevailed over Juventus. Jose Mourinho's men lost to German opposition - Bayern Munich - in last season's semi-finals. Only one team has progressed having lost the first leg 4-1, with Deportivo La Coruna recording a 4-0 second-leg win in Spain against AC Milan in 2004.
