Today's Champions League semi-final draw saw Barcelona paired with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid put with Juventus.

Both ties will have football fans salivating, however it is the prospect of a Real Madrid vs Barcelona final that really excites.

Despite the two Spanish teams appearing in a combined total of 20 European Cup finals, there has never been an 'El Clasico' showpiece.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - the two undisputed best players on the planet - meeting in the most prestigious match a club can play may help determine once and for all which of them is the better.

The semi-finals will be played on 5/6 May and 12/13 May. The final takes place in Berlin on 6 June.
