Both Real Madrid's European title defense and their incredible Champions League record is under threat ahead of the club's clash with Atlético Madrid.
Real Madrid have their sights set on lifting a record-16th Champions League title come May 31, but their road to Munich could end much earlier than anyone anticipated. Los Blancos might have a one-goal advantage over Diego Simeone's men heading into the second leg of their round of 16 tie, but anything can happen at the Metropolitano.
Should Real Madrid leave their neighboring stadium without at least a draw, they will crash out of the Champions League for the first time ever at the hands of Atlético Madrid. Los Blancos have never been eliminated by their La Liga rivals in the Champions League before. In fact, Real Madrid have won six of the 10 matches between the two sides on Europe's grandest stage.
Atlético Madrid only bested Real Madrid two times in the Champions League, and one of the victories came in 1959. Both wins, though, were not enough to get Atlético Madrid past Real Madrid on aggregate.
