Atletico could face their city neighbours once more in the showpiece if they can prevail against Manchester City in Wednesday’s second semi-final, but Griezmann has called for calm.
“We all play at five o’clock (1500 GMT) but the only game that I am interested in is our match”, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said Saturday.
“I can imagine that a few fans only bought season tickets just so they could come to this game”, said Ingolstadt’s assistant coach Michael Henke. Then, we saw a formidable team and had little response to the situations they proposed. “Now we have two finals left in La Liga”, added Zidane.
Zidane suggested Ronaldo will not be given any time off either. “Valencia are a hard rival who play good football”. “He looked in flawless condition to me”.
Zidane will be without Gareth Bale who has a knee problem and goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who has a foot injury.
“It was very intense and I’m so proud of this team”.
Simeone has yet to win there and Levante complicated Atleti’s Liga campaign in 2013-14 by beating the Madrid side 2-0 at the end of that season.
The Frenchman raced clear after a through ball from Fernando Torres to beat Neuer into the near post corner, giving Bayern a task of another two goals to ensure progression.
Bremen, who have won two of their last four games, are at mid-table Cologne, but only escaped the bottom three with a 6-2 thrashing of VfB Stuttgart on Monday. “We’re at home and we have to pick up the points”.
It’s also believed that Juan Cuadrado will get a second chance at impressing at Chelsea under new boss Antonio Conte.
“Maybe people at Bayern will now say he won a haul of domestic trophies, but given the strength of the club’s roster, that’s an accomplishment they should take for granted”. “We have three games and are focusing only on that”.
The Spanish BBVA Primera Liga could in theory be decided on Sunday if results go the way of FC Barcelona, while at the other end of the table the battle to avoid relegation is tenser than ever.

“It was great to see my team play with such intensity”.
