Darragh Maloney (pictured) is joined by Eamon Dunphy, Liam Brady and Richie Sadlier for live coverage of the semi-final second leg clash of Real Madrid and Juventus from Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Commentary is from George Hamilton and Ronnie Whelan. A century ago, incidentally, Real Madrid used to play at Campo de O'Donnell, before moving to the larger Campo de Chamartín in 1924. In 1943, Club President Santiago Bernabéu decided that Madrid needed a 100,000-capacity stadium, which was duly built at Campo de Chamartín. Construction began in 1945, and on December 14 1947 Estadio Santiago Bernabéu officially opened with a match against Portuguese champions OS Belenenses. The stadium was first called Nuevo Estadio Chamartín, but was bestowed the name of the club president eight years later.
The Great Chelsea Garden Challenge
8pm, BBC Two
Only four designers remain and tonight they are working on Conceptual Gardens at Painswick Rocco Gardens, showcasing their creativity and hoping to impress the judges, RHS judge James Alexander Sinclair and Chelsea gold winner Ann Marie Powell (pictured). Conceptual gardens are sometimes called the thinking man's garden, akin to works of art based around a strong central idea. Which designer has a simple clear story to tell, and fantastic planting to secure a place in the final?
Rory Bremner's Election Report
11.20pm, BBC Two
The brilliantly caustic Bremner presents a one-off special on the UK General Election. Filmed in front of a live audience, just after the General Election results and only a few days before transmission, Rory's blend of stand-up comedy, sketches and impressions is unmissable. After six weeks of campaigning it is time to reflect on the good and the bad from the 2015 vote. Rory will pick apart the results and ask the all-important questions, namely who has really won this General Election, and why? And - crucially - how much can politicians actually achieve once they're in office, and what can elections actually change in any case? Is the significance of this election not who takes over, but what it is they take over? Pictured below are some of the objects of Bremner's excoriating wit in heated debate in the lead-up to May 7.
