The Spanish duo head into the final four draw today with the prospect of being drawn against each other, or each against one of the other semi-finalists Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern, meanwhile, are looking for a third appearance in the final in four seasons, whilst Dortmund, who defeated Malaga with two stoppage time goals, are enjoying their best run in the Champions League since 1998.

The semi-final first legs will be played across April 23 and 24, whilst the second legs are set for April 30 and May 1.
