The amazing quality of the Champions League has never been in doubt; add in the best attack, the best defence and the Madrid derby and you have enough passion and drama to last a season.
All four remaining teams believe they have a real chance of lifting the trophy with Barcelona and Bayern out of the picture. Football betting pundits all give the Madrid clubs and Juve a strong chance, and while the betting odds suggest Monaco is the outsider, any team which has scored 92 in 33 league games is a huge threat.
Champions League Semi-final Preview
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann have the chance to show who the better player is on the biggest stage. We all have our opinions but a Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu is the perfect setting for a clash of two footballing geniuses. Ronaldo has seven goals in the competition while Atletico’s own Galactico has five. Can Los Blancos perform in the European cup while battling Barca for La Liga title? This game will be won on fine, fine margins.
AS Monaco vs Juventus
Georgio Chiellini has been outstanding in the Juventus defence alongside Leonardo Bonucci, who claimed no team wanted to face Juve in the semi-finals after they knocked out Barcelona, as the free-scoring Catalans failed to score against the Bianconeri over two legs.
Don’t imagine Monaco is too fazed though, Leonardo Jardim’s team is top of Ligue 1 scoring 92 goals with a prolific attack spearheaded by Radamel Falcao. After beating Dortmund easily 6-3 in the quarter-final, the French have their eyes on a first appearance in the final since 2004.
