In the Champions League it is a big step towards the final in Cardiff. This week the semi-finals of the royal class will be the first leg matches. The game will be particularly exciting on Tuesday, May 2, at 8:45 pm at Santiago Bernabeu Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The two clubs from the capital have already met for the fourth time in the last 4 years in the Champions League.
Real Madrid :
Real Madrid are all in a dazzling condition, although the coach of coach Zinedine Zidane recently suffered a bitter 3: 2 defeat at the last minute in the classico against FC Barcelona in home Santiago Bernabeu. As a result, the royal players in the table temporarily moved to the 2nd table position. Nevertheless, Zidane’s team has continued to have a good chance of winning the Spanish Championship. Finally, Real Madrid are still on equal terms with Barca, but can return to the Tabellenspitze with a victory in the catch-up game against Celta Vigo. On Saturday, the Madrid team received Valencia from the Spanish league, and the Royal side were able to finish the next three in the Primera Division with a 2-1 home win.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid had to face the SSC Napoli in the round of the round and against the club from the Italian Serie A, the Madrid players made a 3-1 win in the final round. In the quarter-finals Real Madrid had to compete against the German champions Bayern Munich and here the team of Zinedine Zidane by a 2: 1 success in the first leg in Munich an excellent starting position. Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo was the man of the evening and scored both goals for the Royal. In the return to their own stadium the Madrilenians were much heavier and more balanced. Captain Sergio Ramos made it through to Real Madrid in the 78th minute. Here, the runners-up enjoyed a weak refereeing performance and once again Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a total of 3 goals in the match 4: 2.
Real Madrid wants to defend the title in the Champions League. However, the team from Zinedine Zidane have to contend for the semi-final against the city rivals Atletico Madrid. This is certainly not going to be easy, also because Gareth Bale and Pepe probably will not be able to hit important players because of their injuries.
Provisional line-up: Navas; Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Ronaldo, Benzema, Asensio
Atletico Madrid :
At Atletico Madrid this season is at least in the Primera Division not quite as round, as one had actually hoped. However, Diego Simeone’s team is still on the 3rd place in the league and has all the opportunities to qualify again for the upcoming Champions League. On Saturday, Atletico had yet to play at Las Palmas, and at the end of the game, a 5: 0 away win for Rojiblancos on Gran Canaria. Atletico Madrid showed a much better performance so far in the Königsklasse, where they secured their first place in the group stage before Bayern Munich. Afterwards, Atletico made it clear in the first leg at Bayer Leverkusen by a 4: 2 away success. In the home game, Atletico Madrid then only played with a handbrake, but came through a goalless draw to the bottom line.
There, Atletico Madrid had to compete against the still reigning English champion Leicester City. There was a clear draw for the Rojiblancos in the first leg, with the result of a 1: 0 home defeat by Antoine Griezmann in the 26th minute. In the return, Atletico’s goal was 1: 0 through Saul’s goal in the first half. In the second round goalkeeper Jan Oblak had to take the ball from their own goal, but the 1: 1 draw in Leicester was enough for the next.
Coach Diego Simeone would like to retaliate against Real Madrid for the defeat in the final in the pre-season. But the team has probably already a good result with Real Madrid. That is why it is quite good that just behind Juanfran and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco because of their injuries is still a small question mark.
Provisional lineup: Oblak; Luis, Savic, Godin, Juanfran; Carrasco, Saul, Koke and Carrasco; Gameiro, Griezmann
