Two teams whose European performances have far outstripped their domestic efforts this term will meet for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, with Atletico Madrid hosting Borussia Dortmund in tonight’s first leg.
Dortmund topped a tough group before ousting PSV Eindhoven in the last-16 but their five-game winning run was ended with a home defeat by Stuttgart at the weekend, leaving them outside the Bundesliga top four.

Atletico, meanwhile, produced a typically gutsy display to knock Inter Milan out on penalties to reach this stage.
But Diego Simeone’s side have lost six of their last 12 in all competitions and relied on a late winner to down Villarreal last time out, returning to the top four in LaLiga.
