Having played one of the most important matches of the season, Madrid's "Atletico" left-back Filipe Luis hopes to avoid another meeting with a Spanish team in the UEFA Champions League. Yesterday, "Atletico" defeated "Barcelona" with a score of 2-0 and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3-2. Tomorrow, the Champions League draw will take place at the UEFA headquarters, where "Atletico" could be drawn against "Manchester City", Madrid's "Real", or Munich's "Bayern".
F. Luisas insists that the most important thing in this stage is to avoid Zinedine Zidane's proteges, who eliminated the "Rojiblancos" team in the quarter-finals of the previous season.
"The only thing I asked for in the Champions League semi-final is to avoid facing the "Real" club. We really do not want to meet them," said F. Luisas.
The 30-year-old footballer played a key role in the second goal of "Atletico" and expressed satisfaction with the match: "We are in the semi-finals because we put in a lot of effort and hard work. We are where we wanted to be."
The UEFA Champions League semi-final draw ceremony will take place tomorrow at 12:30 Lithuanian time.
