Tonight's action also sees Sevilla travelling to face Bayern Munich needing to overcome a 2-1 deficit. The German club wrapped up their domestic title with a 4-1 win at Augsburg this weekend, resting the likes of Robert Lewankowski, Thomas Muller and Frank Ribery to keep them fresh for tonight's encounter. While the now 6-time Bundesliga champs certainly boast a stronger squad selection, the out of from La Liga club were able to out play Manchester United at Old Trafford to reach this stage and are more than capable of a similar performance in Bavaria tonight. Mike Fox elaborates.

Another day, another Bundesliga title for Bayern Munich. The four-one win over Augsburg on Saturday cemented their place as Germany's best, which was never in doubt. Memories of the 2013 champions league title win over Dortmund at Wembley are still fresh in the minds of fans and manager Jupp Heynckes who has galvanised the squad since taking charge for a second spell, and given hope of another European crown or at least a seventh semifinal in nine years.

JUPP HEYNCKES BAYERN MUNICH COACH "I am very confident, first for this game, and then we will see further. I don't want to talk beyond this game because we have a goal to reach the semi-final. I think it's a huge success for each club. For many clubs it's a dream to enter one day, the quarter-final or semi-final."

For the match, Bayern can recall Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Frank Ribery to the starting 11 after they were rested at the weekend, while Jerome Boating has recovered from a bruised foot picked up at the weekend. David Alaba is training again following a back complaint but unlikely to feature as it Arturo Vidal who has a thigh problem.

Sevilla's domestic season isn't going very well. They have lost 3 out their last four and look unlikely to retain the chance to compete in Europe next season. Play maker Ever Banega is back from Suspension for Los Rojiblancos who until beating Manchester United in the last round, had never won a Champions League knock-out game. The most successful club in the history of the Europa League will want to be remembered for not just lifting secondary competitions.

VINCENZO MONTELLA SEVILLA COACH "A match goes ninety minutes. It's important that we are in the match over these ninety minutes. That we keep the balance and patience. We must not try to act very fast. If we believe enough, we can score one goal, or even another."

With key men rested, the title already wrapped up and facing a team out of form we would all be forgiven for thinking Sevilla are there to just make up the numbers. But then again, stuff like this can happen. Mike Fox, CGTN.
