Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid factfile

Factfile on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid
ahead of the Champions League quarter-
final, second-leg tie between the clubs on
Wednesday (score level at 0-0 after first-
leg):




Form: Real Madrid remained just two points
behind Barcelona courtesy of a 3-1 win over
Malaga on Saturday, their fourth consecutive
victory in La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo
registered his 50th goal of the season at the
weekend, despite a rare miss from the
penalty spot earlier in the game, whilst
James Rodriguez continued his fine form
since returning from a broken foot with a
stunning strike into the top corner.

However, Los Blancos suffered two huge
injury blows as Luka Modric and Gareth Bale
limped off ruling them out of the second-leg,
whilst Marcelo is suspended and Karim
Benzema remains an injury doubt.

Atletico took a step closer to sealing their
place in next season’s Champions League
with a 2-1 victory at Deportivo la Coruna on
Saturday to move four points clear of
Valencia in third. Antoine Griezmann scored
both goals to take his tally for the season to
23, including six in his last five games.
