UCL: Bayern draw Real Madrid, Atlético land Chelsea


FC Bayern München's bid to become the first back-to-back winner faces the sizeable hurdle of Real Madrid CF while Club Atlético de Madrid play Chelsea FC in the other semi-final.

Today's open draw in Nyon was conducted by UEFA Champions League final ambassador Luís Figo and UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino, who looked forward to "more of the same" after some "sensational" quarter-final action. "The last four clubs in the UEFA Champions League possess an amazing history in the competition, with three previous winners totalling no fewer than 15 European crowns between them, and one club – Atlético Madrid – who have not featured at this stage since 1974," Mr Infantino said.
