R.M Vs ATM
This is a re-run of the 2013/14 and 2015/16 finals; Real Madrid claiming a 4-1 win and a penalty shootout victory respectively to lift the trophy on both occasions. Real Madrid have reached the Champions League semis for the 7th consecutive season, a record in the history of the tournament.
Real and Atlético have met in a European Cup/Champions League semi-final before, Los Blancos progressing through to the final after three legs against their city rivals during the 1958/59 campaign; they went on to lift the trophy. Since 2010/11, Real Madrid have won 35 of their 41 Champions League games at Santiago Bernabeu (D4 L2). Their two defeats during that time came against Barcelona in April 2011 (0-2) and Schalke in March 2015 (3-4). Real Madrid have also never failed to score in their last 35 Champions League home games, longest ever run in the competition. Barcelona were the last team to leave the Bernabeu with a clean sheet (2-0 in April 2011). This is the fourth season in succession that these city rivals face off in the Champions League knockout phase; Atlético are yet to claim victory over Los Blancos during this recent run (D2 L2). Atlético Madrid are the lowest scoring team in this season's Champions League amongst the four semi-finalists (13 goals in 10 games). Real Madrid have won all four of their knockout games in this season's Champions League despite conceding the opening goal in each of them. In the last round, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to reach the 100-goal mark in the Champions League. He's scored 0.75 goals per game in the knockout stages (49 in 65 games), a better rate than in the group stages (0.71).

Ni kweli aseee. Maana UCL inabebwa back to back, for the FIRST time in its current format. Itakuwa Historia. Hakuna cha golden generation ya Barca under Pep, nor what.
Zizzou is the MAN. Na CR7 atawakata "ngebe" wapambe nuksi wote.
Achilia mbali La liga, tunaibeba kiulaini.

This is what Zizou said in his Pre-Match Presser yesterday:
"It's a semi-final, we know what we have to do, but the Bernabéu crowd is a bonus for the team"
Talks with the squad
"It's important to talk to the group and also to individual players to tell them what you need from them".
"Casemiro is important in the middle, he is physically strong and I’ll not tell him to change his game."
Favourites
"We’re not favourites, it's a semi-final and it's 50-50, as always. We’ll try to do our best to win the game."
Keylor Navas
"He feels good, he’s also in high spirits. People talk a lot, but he’s focused on what he has to do and he looks good to me".
Varane and the centre backs
"He is feeling well and fully recovered. Pepe is still missing. The other three centre backs are all in very good condition."
Goals against
"The opponent aren’t getting chances easily, but it is true that we’re not keeping clean sheets like last year."
James
"He looks good to me. He’s been playing well and he has a chance to play, but I’m not going to say who’ll play tomorrow".
How to surprise the opposition
"With something different. We know each other very well and we’re not going to invent anything"
"It's a Champions League semi-final and there's always an extra motivation. We have an big opponent in front of us. The small details will decide the tie and we want to see a great game of football".
Hard opponent
"Atletico are a team that have been very good for four or five years and they get better every year. They fight, they know their strengths and play to them."
"There is pressure on a player when he plays a semi-final. We’re used to playing in this type of game and hopefully we’ll start well tomorrow."
Cristiano the finisher
"I look at Cristiano as a coach. I never played with him although I played against him. His stats are impressive. I was lucky enough to play with Ronaldo Nazario, who was also an extraordinary player."
"I was a little jealous because I didn’t score so many goals. I gave assists but didn’t have that feeling you get when scoring. They are decisive players".
Marcelo
"We know the importance of Marcelo. He’s going in to it in the best form of his career. He doesn’t live in the past, he lives from what he is doing now. He always wants more and to help the team. What he's doing lately shows that he's a great player".

Carvajal's Pre-Match Presser:
"It's going to be an even tie, as in the last few years, there will be few occasions and the small details will decide it".
"I have been fortunate enough to play in 15 derbies and they are all special. It’s the rivalry of this city, but more than a derby"
The fans
"The fans are a very important aspect for us. We have two matches at home. We ask them to be the twelfth man and help us like they have done all year".
Clean sheet
"Hopefully we keep a clean sheet but if we do concede and still make it to Cardiff the fans will be happy."
"Isco is a different player. Each time he touches the ball it’s pure fantasy. We have 24 fantastic players and it’s a difficult job for the coach who has to decide".
Good form
"I don’t compare myself with anyone. I try to do my job and help the team. I'm in good form and thank god things are going well".
Saul
"I have many friends, not only at Atletico. Once the referee blows his whistle, friendships are put to one side until the match ends and everyone defends their colours".
Cristiano and Griezmann
"They are different players, two world class players. Griezmann is a great player and last year he was close to winning the Champions League and the European Championships, which is what Cristiano won. I wish him a successful career, apart from in this tie".
