Strong line-up as ever from Barcelona as they seek to become the first side to retain the European Cup since 1990. A reminder that they lead 2-1 from last week's first leg at the Nou Camp, Luis Suarez scoring twice after Fernando Torres' opener (and red card). Finely poised at the Vicente Calderon.

Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze start on the bench for a Bayern side who could yet face Pep Guardiola's future employers, Manchester City, in the last four.
The teams stride out in Spain, 2014 finalists Atletico Madrid trailing holders Barcelona 2-1. As with last week's first leg at Camp Nou, both sides are in their change kits, as ordered by Uefa. Quite.
