Spain wants First El Clasico Champions League Final

WITH Barcelona already securing their place in the final, the weight is firmly on the shoulders of Real Madrid to come back from their 2-1 first-leg defeat to set up the first-ever El Clasico Champions League final, an event that will have immense global appeal.
Juventus are the last club standing in Real Madrid’s way of a second consecutive Champions League final. The Italians have a 2-1 lead on aggregate after beating Madrid at the Juventus Stadium last week. While it won’t be easy to dismantle their defensive line, many bookies still consider Ancelotti’s men as the heavy favourites to win the game.
Liga leaders Barcelona are going for the Treble, and have booked their place in the Berlin final by overcoming Bayern Munich this week; now it’s Real Madrid’s turn tonight.
Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Bodo Illgner said: “The whites should overcome Juventus and meet Barcelona in the final.” Illgner, who twice won the tournament with Madrid, is confident that this season the final will see the El Clasico clubs go head-to-head.
