REAL MADRID will face rivals Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals as Italian champions Juventus were drawn against Monaco.
Friday's draw in Nyon pitted the two sides from the Spanish capital against one another once again, after they met in two of the previous three finals of the competition.
It will be the fourth year in a row that Atleti and Real have met in the Champions League, with Diego Simeone's side yet to come out on top.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as the Spanish giants eliminated Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, while Atletico Madrid edged past Leicester City.
Juventus, who beat Barcelona 3-0 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, will face Monaco after the French side advanced past Borussia Dortmund.
The winners of the two ties will book a place in the final at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on June 3.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
