The first leg at the Bernabeu kicks-off at 7.45pm and will be screened live on Sky Sports 2 in the UK. Here's the team news ahead of tonight's game; Manchester United's veteran midfielder Paul Scholes misses tonight's game with a knee injury. The 38-year-old former two time Champions League winner with the Red Devils has not played since the FA Cup third round 4-1 win over Fulham in early January. England winger Ashley Young, also missing since January, has overcome his knee injury to be in contention to play, whilst Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick should be recalled. Jonny Evans and Phil Jones have been declared fit to start. David De Gea is expected to get the nod to start in between the sticks for the visitors ahead of Anders Lindegaard, who had started eight of United's league games over him. For Madrid, midfielders Xabi Alonso, Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira should return after being rested for the weekend. Goalkeeper Ilker Casillas misses out with a broken hand, so January signing Diego Lopez will make his first start in the Champions League this season for Madrid. source - bbc sport
