The defending UEFA Champions League title holders are on the brink of elimination, and will need to beat a foe they have been unable defeat this season in order to avoid an early exit.
Real Madrid plays host to crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League clash following a 0-0 draw in the opener between the two sides.
Meanwhile, Juventus will be looking to maintain a slim 1-0 on the road as the Serie A powerhouse takes on AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II.

Enjoy the action (Today’s live commentary is after the jump):
The referee made sure Real goes through. Shocking red card, absolutely shocking!
Agreed. That was borderline criminal. RM didn’t look very good today, and I don’t expect them to make it past the Semi’s this year.
65% possession. What do you want, 100 percent?
yeah, that stat might carry a little more weight if atleti had been trying to keep possession at all.
i agree with francois: rm might get through the semis if they get drawn with juve, but the way they’re playing, there’s no way they’re getting past bayern or barca.
Sore loser. The ref was nice; it should’ve been a straight red.
Was there even contact? (yes, I know he barely clipped his toe) It caused Ramos so much pain that he forgot which foot it was. Absolutely awful call
Chicharito scores goals.
The best and most professional forward in CONCACAF.
That’s a horrible decision!! And of course, Ramos rolls around the ground after barely any contact is made.
You are wrong. Watch the replay. Should’ve been straight red.
Atletico getting everyone behind once Real get the ball close to goal. Not gonna have a lot of chances until the end.
anyone got a free live stream?
I second this, anybody have a viable stream?
Google stream 2 watch and I hope you have an ad block with you. There will be some matches there including Juve vs Monaco.
Won’t say that Ancellotti’s worried, but three centerbacks?
