Real Madrid – Bayern Munich, the shock of the semis

A possible final played in the semis. This is how the draw for the UEFA Champions League semifinals could be summarized. Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the most expected double duel.

The reigning champions have a tough mission to reach for the second time in a row, the final of the most prestigious club competition in Europe. Bayern will play the first leg of the semifinal with Real in Madrid on 22 April, while the second leg is scheduled a week after in Munich.

Although facing the most dangerous opponent left, the German team has the biggest chances to retain its crown, according to bookmakers. These two teams have met before in the same stage with the Germans moving forward four times.

Atletico Madrid and Chelsea will have to fight for the second spot in the final. The two of them actually met a season ago, in Europe's Supercup. Atletico won the trophy back then with a 4-1 victory. First game will be played in Madrid, with the second one at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.
