Real Madrid will be without Gareth Bale as they look to book their place in a record seventh straight Champions League semi-final against Bayern today.

Bale is sidelined by an ankle problem picked up in Madrid's 2-1 first-leg win last week and is also a doubt for Real's La Liga clash with Barcelona on Sunday. The Welshman was sidelined for three months earlier after suffering ligament damage in his right ankle.
