On Wednesday, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will lock horns in the Champions League. It will be the second-leg of their semi-final tie, with Los Blancos boasting a 3-0 win from their first encounter.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick means the defending champions have one foot in the final, but with this being the last European game at the Vicente Calderon, a miracle from the hosts cannot be counted out.
Here are three records that could be shattered in Wednesday’s game.
1. Atletico’s excellent home run
Did you know Atletico Madrid have never lost a home game in the Champions League semi-final? In addition, Los Rojiblancos have never conceded at the Vicente Calderon in the last 4.
Of course, with Cristiano leading the opposition’s attack, that record could come tumbling down.
2. A miraculous semi-final comeback?
No team has ever overcome a 2-0 first-leg semi-final loss. Monaco attempted to write history, but fell victims to Juventus – now in the final.
In 2015, Simeone’s men thrashed Les Merengues 4-0 at the Calderon. Atletico must do the same two years later.
3. Real Madrid just two goals shy of the 500 mark
Should Los Blancos score twice on Wednesday, they will become the first team in the competition’s history to score 500 goals (group stage to final).
