Club Atlético de Madrid and FC Bayern München
have been UEFA Champions League semi-finals
regulars in the last few years – although their
only previous fixture came more than 40 years
ago.
• While Diego Simeone's Atlético have reached
the last four for the second time in three years,
Bayern are appearing at this stage for the fifth
season in a row.
• This tie will prompt particularly fond memories
for Bayern, who claimed the first of their five
European Cups in 1974 with victory against
Atlético after a replay – the only time that
happened in a final.
Previous meetings
• The teams have played only twice before, in
that 1974 European Cup final – both sides' first.
Atlético were seconds away from taking the
trophy at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels before
Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck's 120th-minute
equaliser gave Bayern a 1-1 draw.
• The sides on 15 May 1974 were:
Bayern: Maier, Hansen, Beckenbauer,
Schwarzenbeck, Breitner, Roth, Zobel,
Kapellmann, Torstensson (Dürnberger 75), Müller,
Hoeness.
Atlético: Reina, Melo, Heredia, Eusebio, Capón,
Adelardo, Aragonés, Salcedo (Alberto 85), Ufarte
(Becerra 60), Irureta, Gárate.
See how Bayern defeated Atlético in the 1974
final
• Two days later, the teams returned to the
Heysel Stadium for what would be the only final
replay in European Cup history, and this time
Bayern ran out 4-0 winners thanks to two goals
each from Uli Hoeness (28 82) and Gerd Müller
(56 69). It was the first of what would be three
successive final triumphs for Bayern.
• The sides on 17 May 1974 were:
Atlético: Reina, Melo, Heredia, Eusebio, Capón,
Adelardo (Benegas 59), Aragonés, Salcedo,
Gárate, Alberto (Ufarte 65), Becerra.
Bayern: Maier, Hansen, Beckenbauer,
Schwarzenbeck, Breitner, Roth, Zobel,
Kapellmann, Torstensson, Müller, Hoeness.

I see a draw. But i would love athletico to go through so that pep wouldnt have an edge over Mou

Athletico Madrid [size=14pt]1 - 0[/size] Bayern Munich
My prediction.
If you agree, hit like.

Abeg Buhari, sign that budget. Then tell fulani herdsmen to take their time.

If the Bavarians play the German way, they will beat Atletico.

If they play the Spanish way, even getting a draw against Atletico will be counted as a great achievement.

Atletico's midfield players are a bunch of no-nonsense bullish juggernauts aversed to flamboyant/marycarelike football.

ATHLETICO ALL THE WAY
those boys have d kind team spirit to face any club.... Would b a tough match thou

Atletico to win

Atleltico madrid my team of the season, please make me proud

I see blood everywhere! Simeone, the agbero coach himself! Let's see what Bayern can make of Athletico's defence. Athletico might just make it to the final. And if they meet Real in the final, then Real is as good as defeated. Real's got NOTHING on Athletico this season in the domestic league. They can replicate that in the UCL.

The match is going to end in draw 0-0
