Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich - the key men
Vinicius Junior - Real Madrid
In the knockout phase of this year's competition, Vinicius has started to come alive for Real Madrid.
A goal in both legs, and ultimately the last laugh, in Real's heated play-off tie with Benfica , followed by
When he is up for the occasion and able to rise above the inevitable provocation from rival players and fans, the Brazilian is very hard to stop.
It will likely be Bayern's Josip Stanisic who is tasked with keeping Vini under wraps.
Far easier said than done, however
Harry Kane - Bayern Munich

In a season where Real Madrid have struggled to consistently keep clean sheets, Kane is one man that Madrid's defenders could do without seeing.
The former- Tottenham man is seemingly getting better with age, having already notched an astonishing 42 goals in all competitions this season.
Kane's tendency to occupy deeper positions is likely to serve up a big problem for Antonio Rudiger, who enjoys the more combative, physical fights with strikers.
Bayern's talisman has only one goal in his four meetings with Real Madrid, so he will undoubtedly be looking to improve this record on Tuesday.
Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich prediction
Without wishing to state the obvious, Real will feel they have to take a lead to Germany and we expect them to play on the front foot and for Vincius, Mbappe and co. to cause Bayern's back line some serious problems.
This will inevitably leave gaps for Munich's offensive unit to exploit, so I can foresee plenty of chances at both ends of the pitch, ultimately setting the stage for a mouth-watering second leg.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Bayern Munich
