Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare speaking to BT Sport:

"Wes Morgan is ready and it's a big bonus for us. He came through training yesterday and I knew in my head yesterday he was ok and made sure this morning there was no reaction and thankfully there wasn't.

"An early goal would be nice but we have to be respectful of the opposition. We know their strengths but the King Power has been rocking in recent weeks and tonight will be no different.

"We start as underdogs, but we've been underdogs before and we quite enjoy it. We know the task ahead. I'd like to do the job over 90 minutes but let's see what the game brings us."

Craig Shakespeare, a ball under each arm, is going through some last-minute drills on the pitch with his Leicester team.

No Robert Huth tonight, he's suspended, so it was vital that the Foxes got captain Wes Morgan back out on the pitch.

How fit is he though? We shall see.

• Leicester are the lowest scoring side in the Champions League among the eight teams left in this season’s competition (10 goals in 9 games). 50% of their goals have come from set-pieces.
• In fact, Leicester City didn’t have a single shot on target in the first leg at the Caldéron.

Here is how the arrival of the Real Madrid team bus was greeted outside the Bernabeu earlier. No pressure lads...

It really does fell all about the first goal tonight. Should Madrid get on the scoresheet it's goodnight Vienna. Or goodnight Leicester anyway.

Leicester City clawed back a 2-1 deficit to overcome Sevilla in the last 16 - and Christian Fuchs believes the atmosphere can help The Foxes make history in tonight's quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid.

Atletico lead 1-0 from the first leg and this is a battle-hardened side who have flourished in the most hostile atmospheres in recent years in reaching two Champions League Finals, losing both to arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Diego Simeone's side will not be easily unsettled and will also know just one goal will leave Leicester City with a mountainous task.

It is going to be very, very difficult. I was here for that home leg against Sevilla. However, this is Atletico Madrid, this is not Sevilla. This is a really strong team. This is Griezmann, Torres, Koke, Oblak in goal. They know how to get results first and foremost.

There will be an incredible atmosphere tonight. If Atletico score early on, I really can't see Leicester scoring three. They have to stay in the game. Be patient, wait for your chances. Would they take extra-time? Of course they would.

Isn't it nice to come here for a match like this? It's something completely different. A Champions League quarter-final at Leicester City. It's unprecedented. For this city, it's a really special night.  

Can Leicester do it tonight then? Are you hoping they do?

Robert Lewandowski and Real Madrid have previous history. The Spanish giants decided not to pursue signing the Poland striker from his previous club Borussia Dortmund in 2014, despite holding initial talks with him.

And Madrid can't say they did know about his qualities, having seen him destroy them in the Champions League semi-final the previous year.

Lewandowski scored all four Dortmund goals in a 4-1 first-leg win, enabling the German club to still reach the Wembley final despite losing the second leg.

"Lewandowski is a real number nine and a bonus for Bayern," Madrid coach Zidane said.

Leicester failed to manage a single shot on target as they lost last week's first leg 1-0.

It means they have no option but to attack the Spanish side, but manager Craig Shakespeare knows his players must also be mindful of their visitors on the counter.

Atletico have scored at least once in each of their last six games, and Shakespeare said: "We need to make sure we create more offensively.

"We've got to get a goal back. But by the same token, we need to be mindful of players like Griezmann. We need to deny them space because they're a very, very good counter-attacking team.

"We're at home, we need to be more forceful than we were, but respectful of the opposition as well."

Leicester did well to contain Atleti to a single goal in the first leg - even if they did concede a very dubious penalty - but an away goal for the Spaniards tonight would spell big, big trouble.

It could be tight and cagey for the first hour or so. Which would suit Leicester fine.

As we already knew, Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is out injured with an ankle problem.

The Wales forward is replaced by Isco in Zinedine Zidane's only change from the first leg.

Prolific Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski's return is the big team news from the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Poland international replaces Thomas Muller, who drops to the bench, while centre-back Mats Hummels returns from injury to replace the suspended Javi Martinez.

Veteran pair Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso, who both plan to retire at the end of the season, start in what could be their final Champions League games.

Madrid XI: Navas; Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Isco, Benzema, Ronaldo.  

Bayern XI: Neuer; Lahm, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba; Thiago Alcantara, Alonso; Robben, Vidal, Ribery; Lewandowski.

Leicester City

Leicester make one change from the first leg. Robert Huth is suspended but Wes Morgan is fit again and replaces him at the back, partnering Yohan Benalouane.

Shinji Okazaki again partners Jamie Vardy in attack.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Benalouane, Morgan (c), Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy. 

Atletico Madrid also make one change. Fernando Torres drops to the bench and defender Jose Maria Gimenez comes in. Yannick Carrasco will probably partner Antoine Griezmann up front. 

Atletico Madrid XI: Oblak, Godin, Filipe Luis, Koke, Griezmann, Saul Niguez, Carrasco, Gabi, Savic, Juanfran, Gimenez.

Leicester City are potentially 90 minutes away from a place in the last four of the Champions League.

It's been a rollercoaster at the King Power in the last 10 years. Tonight could see the Foxes become Atletico's Nemesis, or Diego Simeone could send Leicester into Oblivion.

Whatever happens it should be a fun ride...
