Diego Simeone, Atlético coach
We believe in ourselves and our weapons. We won't change for this game. We know what we're capable of. I have full confidence in my players and I'm sure we'll do things well. We'll defend well, go from minute to minute and look to create chances. The Madrid squad might well be the best in the world, alongside Barcelona and Bayern.

We're fighting at a stage where we're proud to be: the semis of the Champions League. The only side that haven't been able to rest players in the league beforehand is us. We have our weapons, we'll try to do something that's going to be very difficult but we won't give up until the ref blows the final whistle.

Zinédine Zidane, Real Madrid coach
Atlético will try to stop us doing our thing – that's their game. We'll try to continue doing what we do, the thing that's brought us here. Nothing will change in that sense. It's the business end of the season where everything is up from grabs, and this club loves to be in these situations. Every game is a final and tomorrow is one. We're going to play our game – we can't do anything else.

This club's history is something you can't shy away from; on the contrary, it helps us prepare for big occasions. We and our fans know this is a big club but then we have to show it too.

Weekend results
Atlético 1-0 Eibar (Saúl 69)
Atleti all but sealed a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage next season as Saúl Ñíguez's third goal in six outings earned a narrow home win that leaves Simeone's team five points clear of fourth-placed Sevilla with two to play. Diego Godín received a second yellow card in added time.

Granada 0-4 Real Madrid (James Rodríguez 3 11, Morata 30 35)
Madrid were too hot to handle in Granada, two goals apiece from James Rodríguez and Álvaro Morata setting a much-changed side up for a comfortable evening. The Merengues returned level on points with Barcelona at the top of the Liga, with a game in hand, and also completed back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since January.

Highlights: Atlético’s greatest Calderón nights

Reporter's view: Joe Walker (@UEFAcomJoeW)
It is a big task for Simeone's side: they need three unanswered goals against a Real Madrid outfit that have scored in 60 consecutive games just to take it to extra time. Undoubtedly, the visitors are in the driving seat, and were able to rest a lot of their starters at the weekend, too. Yet maybe, just maybe, in the final European game at the Vicente Calderón, Atlético can pull off something very, very special.
