Just 15 minutes until kick off in tonight's two Champions League quarter-finals. Will Leicester make history? Or will Atletico reach their third semi-final in four seasons? Will Real Madrid remain on course to be the first team to retain the Champions League? Or will Carlo Ancelotti have the last laugh over the side that sacked him?

Oh dear - Leicester are setting off fireworks now. What's in store if they actually go through?!

2 mins: This is end-to-end stuff at the Bernabeu already! Bayern, like Leicester, are pushing for the the goal, they need to score, so expect the Germans to be the more attacking of the two sides.

5 mins: A familiar sight... The Cristiano Ronaldo stance over a free-kick about 20 yards out. History will tell us this is likely to be into the wall or the crowd but you never know... Nope, I did know, it was into the wall. Chance wasted.

8 mins: Chance! At the other end Thiago's goal-bound shot from five yards is blocked and Robben fires his follow-up into the ground and it ends up rippling the side netting.

Over in Leicester, the Foxes are looking to stretch Atletico's sturdy defence with Vardy running the channels. It's pretty even there so far...

15 mins: Things have calmed down somewhat at the Bernabeu and Real are starting to look more attacking. Marcelo forces a corner and a neat interchange with Ronaldo before Navas rushes out of goal in Neuer-esque fashion to stop Robben.

20 mins: It's back-to-the-wall defending here from Real now. Bayern are swinging in cross after cross after cross but can't find the head of Robert Lewandowski. Yet.
