19:40 Atletico Madrid's starting line-up: Jan Oblak, Juanfran, Jose Gimenez, Stefan Savic, Filipe Luis, Saul, Gabi, Augusto Fernández, Koke, Antoine Griezmann, Fernando Torres

18:45 Atletico coach Diego Simeone said: "We have to be thinking about one thing: winning. I'm expecting a hard match against an opponent with a lot of attacking potential, against a coach who changes from game to game." 

17:45 Bayern coach Guardiola was full of praise for his Atletico counterpart Diego Simeone, saying: "The best title Atletico have achieved is that they are compared with Barcelona and Madrid, that's Simeone's greatest achievement."

16:40 Atletico is in a close fight for the Spanish league title with Barcelona and Real Madrid, while Bayern is one win away from clinching the Bundesliga for the fourth straight season.

16:30 Simeone will likely be without defender Diego Godin because of a muscle injury, while Guardiola may have Jerome Boateng, who hasn't played since hurting his groin in January.

16:20 The teams also met in the 1974 final, when Bayern won the first of its five European titles. Atletico, yet to win the competition, is in the semifinals for the third time in three seasons. It lost the 2014 final to Real Madrid.

16:00 Bayern, in the semifinals for the fifth straight season, has been successful thanks to Guardiola's trademark offensive prowess. Bayern also leads the Champions League in attempts on goal, with 86, almost nine per game.

15:00 Atletico has conceded only 21 goals in 45 games over the Champions League and the Spanish league this season.

14:35 Atletico has become a force in Europe since the arrival of Simeone, who introduced a team-first attitude and helped the club become one of the toughest to beat against anybody. 

14:00 ''It's going to be an evenly balanced match,'' Bayern midfielder Xabi Alonso said.

''The defense is clearly one of their strengths, but it's not only that. Atletico know how to play football and are very dangerous in attack. They win possession by aggressive pressing and then play very directly, quickly, and vertically towards goal. We have to be clever.''

13:00 Atletico's fierce defensive scheme has let in only five goals, the least along with Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Bayern arrives with 28 goals from 10 games, the most among all teams this season.

12:45 Atletico would appear to have the edge, because the first leg is in Madrid. At Vicente Calderon Stadium, it has lost only twice in 29 games in European competitions, and only once in the Spanish league this season

12:00 Pep Guardiola's compelling offense and Diego Simeone's tough defense will be put to the test when Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid meet in the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday.
