Real Madrid will face a massive task in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Wolfsburg tonight, needing to overturn a two-goal deficit from last week’s game in Germany.

Last week's 2-2 draw in the Parc des Princes leaves City needing a win or a 0-0 or 1-1 draw to progress to the last four.
Goals by Kevin de Bruyne and Fernandinho in Paris have left Manuel Pellegrini's team in excellent shape for the second leg, but PSG's 2-1 victory in the last round at Chelsea is proof they are capable of winning in England.

Fernando Torres' sending off in the first leg means he is suspended for the return game, with Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez and Oliver Torres all injury worries for Atletico boss Diego Simeone.
In Wednesday’s other fixture, Bayern Munich take a narrow 1-0 lead into their game at Benfica, after Arturo Vidal's first-leg goal.
Bayern have lost just once away from home in this season's competition and have scored goals in three of their four ties away from home.
Their Portuguese opponents have won three out of four at home, but they are yet to progress past Bayern in European competition with the German side winning their three previous encounters.
