Sergio Ramos could be man to haunt Atletico again

The most intimate of enemies is how the Spanish commentator described Real Madrid and Atletico when they first met in the semi-final of the European Cup – and that was nearly 60 years ago.

It has become the biggest derby in the Champions League. Seven times they have clashed in Europe and each occasion has been agonising for the underdogs.

This contest has always been decided by the tightest of margins, even the 2014 final which finished 4-1 to Madrid but which Atletico were winning until the third minute of added time.
