Real Madrid have invited a Bayern Munich legend to their Champions League clash following his dismissal at the German club.

Real host Bayern tonight in the semi-final second leg for a spot in this season's Champions League final.

The winner will meet Borussia Dortmund, who beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate - with the French giants savagely mocked on social media following their elimination.

Real and Bayern played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in their semi-final first leg at the Allianz Arena last week.

They'll renew hostilities tonight at the Bernabeu for a place at next month's Wembley showpiece.

And ahead of the two European giants locking horns, the La Liga side have invited Bayern icon Oliver Kahn to the game.

That's according to BILD, who claim the Bundesliga outfit failed to invite their former goalkeeper to the blockbuster tie.

Kahn enjoyed a legendary spell at Bayern, making over 600 appearances for the club.

He won an impressive eight league titles and the Champions League during his storied 14-year spell.

After his stint at Bayern, Kahn joined the club's board as their CEO. But he was dismissed from his role last year along with one-time teammate Hasan Salihamidzic.

He was replaced by Jan-Christian Dreesen following a decision made by the club's supervisory board.

Kahn was sacked shortly after Bayern's Bundesliga triumph last season.

A statement on the club’s official website read: "Oliver Kahn is no longer CEO of FC Bayern Munich AG. Hasan Salihamidzic will also be replaced as board member for sport. This was decided by the club’s supervisory board.

"Kahn will be replaced by the current vice-chairman of the board Jan-Christian Dreesen. Salihamidzic’s successor is still to be decided."

The 54-year-old will watch his old side in action following Real's invitation.
