Factfile on Real Madrid and Bayern Munich ahead of the Champions League semi-final, first leg between the clubs at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday:

Form: Both sides already have a trophy in the cabinet this season as Real claimed the Copa del Rey last week with a 2-1 win over Barcelona, Gareth Bale scoring a stunning winning goal.

The Welshman has also kept Real's title challenge on course in the absence of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks as Los Blancos remain in the fight for La Liga, six points adrift of Atletico Madrid but having played a game less than Los Rojiblancos with five still to play.

Real had the weekend off after the exertions of their Cup win to prepare for Bayern's visit and should be boosted by the return of Ronaldo, who returned to full training with his team-mates on Monday.

By the incredible standards set by the European champions over the past 18 months, Bayern have gone through a difficult period since sealing their 24th German title a month ago.

Saturday's 2-0 win over bottom club Eintracht Braunschweig was their first in four league games, a run which included two consecutive defeats after a 53-match unbeaten streak.
