Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have contested two of the past three Champions League finals and the capital clubs are once again primed to progress to the semi-finals on Tuesday.
Diego Simeone's Atletico hold a 1-0 lead over Premier League champions Leicester City after Antoine Griezmann was unsurprisingly their match-winner at the Vicente Calderon last week – earning and dispatching a controversial first-half penalty.
A contrasting spot-kick, with Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal blazing wastefully over, gave Real Madrid a sniff of turning around their match at the Allianz Arena.
It was a chance that Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed emphatically as a second-half brace secured a 2-1 win and brought up 100 goals in European competition for the four-time Ballon d'Or winner.
But Leicester made it their business to overturn odds on their way to glory last season and already have a LaLiga scalp in the form of Sevilla from the last 16, while free-scoring striker Robert Lewandowski will return with the aim of firing a Bayern revival.
