The good, the bad and the ugly guide to supporters at the Bernabeu

A vast range of supporters have made their way to the Bernabeu. It's good to see Juventus fans travelling to Spain, even if some have had their trip ruined by ugly scenes outside the stadium.

And I still maintain stadium selfies are bad. Just ask someone to take a photo of you for goodness' sake.

Huge cheers for the Real Madrid players as they come out to warm up

And I can't say I'm surprised. Just look at the atmosphere and scenes outside the ground. There's not even a team bus in sight here...

Meanwhile Juventus (fans) are taking a battering

The Spanish police are not standing for much nonsense it seems before the game - as one Juve fan has found out.

Does anyone know if this is the way to the Bernabeu?

We've seen scenes like this already this season in the quarter-final vs Atletico, but Real fans are again out in force to greet their heroes to the Bernabeu. Stunning images.

Just the one change for Juvents (and again it's a biggie)

Massimiliano Allegri is also handed a boost ahead of the second leg as he recalls Paul Pogba back to the side in place of Stefan Sturaro in midfield.

Other than that it's the same side which defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in Turin
