Real Madrid host Juventus tonight in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with a place in the last four within reaching distance.

Zinedine Zidane’s men, who are looking to win the competition for the fourth time in five seasons, head into the second-leg clash with a 3-0 advantage after their storming victory in Turin last week.

The Spaniards will be without the suspended captain Sergio Ramos for the clash while Paulo Dybalal is unavailable for the visitors.

In the evening’s other quarter-final, Bayern Munich welcome Sevilla to the Allianz Stadium with a 2-1 lead to their name. The Bavarians are aiming to reach a seventh European semi-final in nine years.

In case you were wondering, it's still 0-0 in Bavaria where Bayern Munich are hosting Sevilla.

As long as the Bundesliga leaders don't concede two in the second half, they're going through to the last four.

The moment Mario Mandzukic doubled Juventus' lead in the first half

46' - We are back underway in Madrid and the hosts have made two changes at the break, with Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio replacing Casemiro and Gareth Bale.

49' - Douglas Costa skips past Marcelo on the wing before cutting inside and letting a strike go from 25 yards. The Brazilian doesn't quite connect with his shot as he would've liked though and the ball sails a good few feet over the crossbar.

54' - Dani Carvajal goes to ground clutching his face after a coming-together with the cautioned Mario Mandzukic.

Madrid's fans want a red card but Michael Oliver is having none of it.

58' - Chance!

Cristiano Ronaldo meets Lucas Vazquez's cross in the box but his scuffed first-time shot is saved by the alert Gigi Buffon.

59' - Madrid old boy Gonzalo Higuain tests Keylor Navas with a shot from the edge of the area and the goalkeeper is equal to it as he springs to his right to parry the ball clear.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0-3 Juventus (Matuidi, 60)

What on earth is happening here?

Keylor Navas makes a huge blunder as he spills a routine Douglas Costa cross, allowing Blaise Matuidi to slot the ball into the empty net!

Unbelievable.
