Wednesday, 21:45, Madrid, Vicente Calderon, referee - Juneyt Chakyr (Turkey). Live broadcast on Football 2.

After a week ago at Santiago Bernabeu Real, thanks to a hat trick Cristiano Ronaldo, defeated Atletico, all questions about the finalist were almost lifted. After all, in the history of the European Cup semifinals, no one has ever managed to win back a difference of two goals after the first match. However, the current Champions League has more than once spoiled football fans with unexpected results, and who knows if the limit of the tickets returned to this rally is exhausted.

Atletico did not lose in any of his five previous home semifinal matches, but this time even the extension of this win-win series guarantees nothing to Matresses. And the main trouble for Diego Simeone is that his team will have to attack, and attack a lot, acting as the first number, but this is exactly what she does not particularly like.

It's nice to play against a reliable defense, having caught a desperate couple of times reaching the opponent's goal on the counterattack, but Real Madrid may well choose a pragmatic version of the game. And then how will the hosts act on Vicente Calderon and what will the arena, the last time hosting the European Cup match at Atletico, - an open question.

Both teams are approaching the fight with minor personnel losses, although Dani Carvajal, who will not be able to compete for Real Madrid before the Champions League final (if Blancos goes there), was recently one of the best in his team, and completely compensate for his absence Right flank will not be able, perhaps, neither Nacho, nor Danilo.

Interesting facts - No team in the semi-finals was able to win back not just three, but even two goals after the first match.

- Real Madrid left to score two goals to reach the goal of 500 goals in the Champions League (the nearest competitor - Barcelona - 459 goals).

- Atletico never lost at home in the semi-final European Cup matches (4 wins and draw) and did not even miss a single ball.

- Match Atletico - Real Madrid will be the last European competition at the stadium Vicente Calderon.

Approximate compositions of Atletico: Clouds - Juanfran, Godin, Savic, Filipe Luis - Koke, Gaby, Saul, Carrasco - Grismann, Gameyro.

Real: Navas - Nacho, Ramos, Varan, Marcelo - Kroos, Casemiro, Modric - Isco, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Will not play: Fernandez - Carvajal, Bale.

In doubt: Vrsalco, Juanfran, Jimenez (Atletico).

Words Diego Simeone, coach of Atletico:.

"We believe in ourselves and in our weapons. We are not going to change something in our style, because we know how much it can be effective. I'm sure that my players will be able to do what is required of them: first of all, reliably play in defense and minute by minute to look for their chances. Real Madrid is probably the best team on the planet, but we will fight until the final whistle ".

Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach:.

"As in any of his matches, Atletico will try to prevent us from playing his game. Well, we, naturally, will act in our own style. For us, all the games left in the season, turn into the final, in which you need to win. This is not an easy situation, but Real Madrid is used to such moments, so there are so many victories in club history ".

Forecast 1: 0.
