19:40. five minutes until kick-off it is prediction time! both sides have a great chance of gaining the advantage here but I think Real Madrid will edge it out 2-1.
19:32. Both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are currently warming up on the Vincente Calderon pitch, a turf Real Madrid havent won on in the last three attempts.
19:28. FACT- Atletico Madrid are undefeated in 19 of the last 21 Champions League matches (including qualifiers)
19:20. 25 minutes before kick-off read the preview by our own Stephen Killen
19:10. Despite their recent record at the Vincete Calderon where they havent won on the last three occassions, I think that Real Madrid will have enough to get the win tonight. There top trio should be too much but there is the typical cliche that the formbook goes out the window when it comes to a derby.

18:45. There is just a little over an hour until Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid kick-off. Team news to follow shortly
18:30. Real Madrid have a fully-fit squad with no concerns whatsoever, Gareth Bale has been named in the match day squad and looks set to start after he missed the victory over Eibar at the weekend due to injury.
18:25. Raul Garcia is only real doubt for Atletico Madrid with striker Mario Mandzukic confirmed to start by Diego Simeone after being out through injury. The Croatian is fully expected to start up top with Antoine Griezmann with Fernando Torres dropping to the bench.
18:15. Atletico Madrid hero Fernando Torres was full of praise for his manager and former team-mate before Kick-off.
He said: "It is his (Simeone) character as a player and his character as a coach that drives the team. He knows we are a team that needs to know what we are about, our weaknesses and our strengths, but above all our weaknesses so we can then implement our qualities. We don't have the options that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern (Munich) or Chelsea have, we cannot drop points and make up for them later. We are a team that plays at our limit."
18:10. Carlo Ancelotti spoke of his sides and his own aspirations to clinch a 11th European title.
He said: "We are not obsessed with Atlético, we just want to reach the semis. Our dream is to win an 11th European Cup. Sergio Ramos's goal [in Lisbon last May] is an unforgettable memory but now we are focused on the present and dreaming of another title.
"We will play to win but we also recognise that two draws could be enough. It's a very even tie and we have a 50% chance. This doesn't change our intention of playing to make the most of our players' quality. I'm lucky because I have a fantastic squad. But personality and courage are important in these kind of games.
"Simeone is a great coach, he's proved that. I like him very much and he's one of the best in the world. For me, it's an honour to compete with him – and also a problem. Atletico are very tough opponents because they have fantastic defensive organisation, but they are not our bogey team. Even so, we have total respect for them as they fight from the first minute until the last. I'd like to see my team competing till the end."
18:05. Diego Simeone spoke before the match dismissing his side’s current record against Real Madrid.
He said: "The two teams are different because of the qualities of their players. This is also a different game from last season, with players on both sides who weren't involved in the Lisbon final. They have more individual talent than us in several positions. I don't look at previous matches because this one is going to be different – it will be played with real intensity.
"They have extraordinary players and we respect the ability of them all. We cannot choose our opponents, but I admire Ancelotti as a man – he doesn't change his words whether his team win or lose. It's a source of pride to compete against the best and Carlo is one of them."
18:00. the most historic meeting between these two sides in recent times came back in May in last year’s Champions League final. Diego Godin gave Atletico Madrid the lead in Lisbon before a late Sergio Ramos header forced extra-time. Goals from Gareth Bale, Marcelo and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty sealed Real Madrid’s 10th European triumph.
17:55. Atletico Madrid have had the upper hand in the most recent meetings between these two sides. Atletico Madrid have won the last three competitive meetings between the two at the Vincente Calderon aswell as keeping three clean sheets. The most recent was back in February with goals from; Tiago, Saul, Antoine Griezmann and Mario Mandzukic sealed a 4-0 victory for the home side.
17:50. Carlo Ancelotti has come under some heavy scrutiny from the Spanish press recently for Real’s poor league form but luckily for the Italian it looks to be on the mend. Like Atletico Madrid their slump came at the beginning of March with a draw to Villarreal, defeat to Athletic Club and topped off with a 2-1 defeat in the El Clasico before the international break. They bounced back with 9-1 demolition of Granada, a win away to Rayo Vallecano and a comfortable 3-0 win over Eibar at the weekend which has left them just two points off the leaders.
17:45. Atletico’s league form has begun to pick up again after a run of three draws at the beginning of March against; Sevilla, Valencia and Espanyol saw them lose ground on Real and leaders Barcelona. Victories followed against; Getafe, Cordoda and Real Sociedad however a slip up at the weekend with the 2-2 draw away to Malaga has seen gap between them and tonight’s opponent’s stretch to seven points.
17:40. Real Madrid's Champions League performance this campaign has been just as impressive as their opponents winning all their matches in the group stages of the competition and won comfortably in the first leg of their last 16 tie with Shalke thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo. It was a different story at the Santiago Bernabeu just managing to scrape through to this tie after a late goal from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was enough to give the German side a unexpected 4-3 victory.
17:35. Atletico Madrid's form in the Champions League has been excellent this season finishing top of Group A ahead of Juventus and winning five out of a possible eight. They faced a stern test in the last round losing the first leg to Bayern Leverkusen but a goal from Mario Suarez and then a winning penalty from Fernando Torres in the shootout was enough to see them pass into the quarter-finals.
