Pep Guardiola leads his Bayern Munich team into the Estádio da Luz to take on the Portuguese champions Benfica. Bayern hold a precious 1-0 lead following the first leg at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The Bavarians will be relying on the attacking duo of Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller to grab a goal or two to lead them to victory on the day. The two have struggled in the last three game and were unable to find the back of the net.
The two central defender positions for Bayern on the day will be interesting to watch. Will Guardiola send young star Joshua Kimmich out next to David Alaba again or will the veteran of previous Champions League wars Javi Martinez get the start?
Bayern will be hoping to join Manchester City, Real Madrid, and likely Barcelona in the semifinals of Europe's biggest and best football competition.
Once the lineups are released, this thread will be updated.
