Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Muich

The Champions League's best attack and defense meet when Atletico Madrid hosts Bayern Munich.

Atletico would appear to have the edge, because the first leg is in Madrid. At the Vicente Calderon Stadium, the Rojiblanco have lost only twice in 29 games in all competitions, and only once in La Liga. 

Atletico are in their third Champions League semis in three years, as in 2013/14 they knocked out Chelsea at the same stage to go into the final and eventually lose the title against arch rivals Real Madrid.

simeone has very good and very bad news for this Wednesday's match. The very good news is the return of Fernando Torres from a red card suspension against Barcelona two weeks ago. But the very bad news affects the strongest part of Simeone's scheme: Diego Godín, the best defender on the planet.

Meanwhile, Bayern arrives in the Spanish capital with 28 goals from 10 games, the most among all teams this season. 

Bayern Munich are in the fifth consecutive semis and have reached the final twice and went on to win their last title in 2012/13 by beating domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Jerome Boateng is unlikely to be fully fit despite returning to training following a long-term groin injury, while Holger Badstuber (ankle) is out and Arjen Robben (groin) is expected to be unavailable. Sebastian Rode, meanwhile, is battling illness.
