This match-up will also give Diego Simeone a third change at revenge, having lost twice to their rivals in the Champions League – once in the quarter-finals and once in the final – since their 4-1 defeat in 13/14 in ultimate game.
Los Blancos, who made it into the last four after a controversial win over Bayern Munich, have a golden opportunity to make their second final in as many years. They could also become the first club to win back-to-back titles should they get past Los Rojiblancos.

Fans were happy not to see another Madrid Derby final, and were just as excited for the second semi-final draw: Monaco vs. Juventus.
These are two exciting European clubs who have made it this far for two opposite reasons. The Ligue 1 outfit have been lethal in attack, with Mbappe and Falcao tearing apart the likes of Man City and Borussia Dortmund.
.@AS_Monaco! Strong team with many talented players & an impressive run this season. We have to be careful, but the goal is clear #UCLDraw

Juventus, despite being deadly up front, are known for their rock-solid back four. They have conceded only two goals so far, and faced Barca and MSN over two legs without letting one goal in.
