NYON, Switzerland - Holder Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semifinals while French upstart Monaco will take on Juventus, following the draw on Friday.
The all-Madrid showdown is a rerun of the 2014 and 2016 finals in Europe's top club competition, with a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Real victorious on both occasions in tight, cagey affairs.
Real will host Atletico at Santiago Bernabeu on May 2 and Monaco is home to Italian champion Juventus on May 3, with the second legs the following week.
