0-0: The tie will be decided at the Bernabéu

The knock-out duel between the reigning European champions and runners-up will be decided next Wednesday at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid were the better side, particularly during the first half, but an inspired Oblak performance prevented the Whites from being ahead at the half-time break. Madrid made a dominant start at the Calderón, putting concerted pressure on the ball and winning possession back quickly. In just ten minutes, they had already had three shots on goal, one a clear chance as Bale found himself one-on-one with Oblak after 4', los rojblancos' keeper producing a magnificent save.

With half an hour played, and Atlético yet to have an attempt on Casillas' goal, Bale again caused danger. Modric brought the ball down with his knee on 31' and fed the Welshman, who fired a powerful effort from more than 25 metres that once more forced the hosts' custodian into a fine stop. The Slovenian was proving Atlético's outstanding performer, a fact he underlined six minutes later with a commendable save from James' shot from the edge of the area.
