Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich have been drawn to face each other at this year’s Champions League semi-final stage.

Pep Guardiola will have to overcome Diego Simeone’s defensive masterclass if he is to reach May’s final and win the competition for the first time since arriving in Bavaria.

In the other semi-final, Manchester City will face Real Madrid, which sets up the prospect of the Bayern head coach taking on his future employers in Milan.
