Madrid: Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will fight it out for a place in the Champions League semi-finals next week after the two couldn't be separated in a feisty 0-0 first-leg draw at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday.

The visitors had by far the better of the chances, particularly in the first period, and Atletico were grateful to goalkeeper Jan Oblak for keeping them in the tie with a string of fine saves. Tempers flared after the break as Madrid defender Dani Carvajal escaped unpunished after punching Mario Mandzukic inside the penalty area.
