Bayern Munich face Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final. Check out the expected starting XI here.
Manuel Neuer
There are no issues over the fitness of Manuel Neuer, and the Bayern Munich first choice goalkeeper should start between the posts in Madrid.
Philipp Lahm
In order to counter the threat of the returning Cristiano Ronaldo, Pep Guardiola may well deploy Philipp Lahm in his primary position of right back.
Jerome Boateng
Jerome Boateng has been a stalwart at the back for Bayern Munich this season, and should start here.
Dante
Cultured centre back Dante signed a new deal earlier this season and looks set to conclude his career at Bayern Munich.
David Alaba
Providing he can get over his cold in time, Alaba should take his position in the side at left back.
