Team News: Cristiano Ronaldo returns for Real Madrid against Manchester City

Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the starting lineup as Real Madrid take on Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final second leg at the Bernabeu.

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to the starting lineup as Real Madrid take on Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final second leg at the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo, this season's top scorer in the Champions League, had missed Real's previous three matches with a thigh problem but returns tonight as Zinedine Zidane makes three changes from last week's first leg in Manchester, which ended 0-0.

Ronaldo returns for Lucas Vazquez, while Karim Benzema and Casemiro miss out through injury and have their places taken by Jese Rodriguez and Isco.

While Real are 10-time champions of Europe, Man City are aiming to reach the final for the first time, and Manuel Pellegrini has made just the one change from the first leg.

David Silva is out injured, but Yaya Toure is back to take his place in the central playmaking role behind star striker Sergio Aguero as Raheem Sterling is forced to settle for a place on the bench.

Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Modric, Isco; Ronaldo, Jese, Bale
Subs: Casilla, Varane, James, Kovacic, Vazquez, Danilo, Mayoral

Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy; Fernando, Fernandinho; Jesus Navas, Toure, De Bruyne; Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Mangala, Kolarov, Delph, Sterling, Bony, Iheanacho
