PREVIEW
Real Madrid landed a winner for us last night but it was a strange old game with Bayern having the majority of the possession but also with Real Madrid missing two massive chances.
It’s sets up the second leg and both semi-finals are delicately poised.
Switching to the Europa League tonight and the competition has also reached the semi-final stage, and again both matches tonight look like being cagey affairs.
Benfica play Juventus for the first time since 1968 so we’re not sure how relevant the head to head stats above will be.
Jorge Jesus’s Benfica side were beaten by Chelsea in the final last May face a Juventus side who leading Serie A by eight points with four games remaining.
Carlos Tevez is set to return to Juventus after a muscular injury which will boost their chances but a draw looks very much on the cards.
