When the knockout draw for the Champions League was made, many suggested there was potential for a very exciting end to the prestigious tournament, and it appears they were correct. The only remaining Engish team Chelsea will face surprise Spanish package Atletico Madrid, whilst their city rivals Real Madrid will play the current UEFA Champions League holders Bayern Munich. Which teams will battle to lift the trophy in May's final?

Atletico will be no easy tie for Chelsea, with the Spanish outfit on top of La Liga, and flying high are dumping Barcelona out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals stage. There has been problems between Madrid and Chelsea, with Madrid's keeper Thibaut Courtois on loan from Chelsea. The pair are struggling to work out if he can, and will play when the two go toe-to-toe. This could be the difference maker, with Courtois becoming one of the best keepers around during his time on loan at Madrid.

Bayern Munich dumped Arsenal and Manchester United out, but they were nowhere near their fluent best, and now they will face a truly tough test against Real Madrid, who are full of talent. Can Munich stop Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale from hurting them? One thing's for sure, it looks this will be a very high-scoring tie.

Who will win the UEFA Champions League? Can the Madrid teams ensure it's a Madrid derby for the Champions League, or will the experienced Chelsea and the trophy holders Munich spoil the Spanish party?
