Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, May 2. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
In one of two great matchups in the Champions League semifinals, Real Madrid will face off against rival Atletico Madrid, playing the first leg at home in the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid eclipsed Bayern Munich with a 6-3 aggregate win to punch their ticket to the semis. Unfortunately for Real Madrid, they will be without speedy winger Gareth Bale, as well as center-back Pepe. Luckily, Real Madrid still have Cristiano Ronaldo so they can never be counted out of a game. Real are seeking back-to-back titles after defeating Atletico Madrid in the final last season.
Atletico Madrid get the benefit of having their home game in the second leg, so they will know exactly what they will need to do. Unfortunately, Atletico will be without right-back Juanfran and center-back José Giménez. Both are out with thigh injuries. Atletico were on the cusp of winning last year, but just like their two previous finals, fell just short. They will be looking to avenge their unlucky loss from last year by beating Real Madrid to advance to a final matchup with Juventus or Monaco.
