Atlético Madrid will play European football at the Vicente Calderón for the last time in their semi-final second leg, but face a mountain to climb against Real Madrid.
Club Atlético de Madrid have it all to do against city rivals Real Madrid CF on what is sure to be an emotional evening at the Vicente Calderón.
• In what will be the last European tie at the stadium that has been their home since 1966, Diego Simeone's Atlético are attempting to win a European tie against their neighbours at the fifth time of asking. Cristiano Ronaldo's first-leg hat-trick, that gave the holders a 3-0 win at the Santiago Bernabéu, makes that an unlikely prospect.
• Real Madrid have ended Atlético's UEFA Champions League hopes in each of the last three seasons, including dramatic victories in the finals of 2014 and 2016.
