Real out to break down Atletico wall

Madrid rivals in do-or-die clash at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid has the unenviable task of beating city rival Atletico Madrid at the eighth attempt this season if it is to progress to a fifth consecutive Champions League semifinal.

The European champion has failed to overcome Atletico in seven games since beating Los Rojiblancos in last season's Champions League final, including last week's 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon and has also been struck by a series of injuries and suspensions to key players.
