Real Madrid will be entertaining Apoel Nicosia on Wednesday April 4th, 2012 at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for the 2nd leg quarter-finals UEFA Champions League. This match is just like a formality game for Real Madrid since they have defeated Apoel 3-0 last week at Apoel stadium in Nicosia. The goals were scored by Kaka and Karim Benzema who made two goals. By that results, Real Madrid have a good chance to the semi-finals joining Barcelona and Bayern Munchen which have qualified following their victory against AC Milan and Marseille the day before.
Jose Mourinho set to make another chances regarding to his squad for this battle. He can not call Ricardo Carvalho and Lassana Diarra who are still struggling to recover from their injury. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso will be returning to his position in the midfield. Apoel on the other hand realize that they have a very difficult task to beat giant club Real Madrid for at least 4-0 to eliminate them from Champions League but it is really impossible as they will play on away match and probably there will be a lot of goals which will be scored by the home team players.
