Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid

Barcelona has reached the semis for the seventh consecutive season and Atletico Madrid is the only opponent remaining in cup play that has yet to defeat the Catalan giants this season (they drew 1-1 on Sept. 21). That said, you can never count Simeone's men out, especially in a two-leg round, just ask Luis Enrique. The last two times Barcelona has been eliminated from Champions League play, it came at the hands of Atletico Madrid (2-1 in 2014 and 3-2 in 2016). If anyone knows how to make life difficult for Barca, it's Simeone.

The first and second legs will take place on Feb. 1 (at Atleti) and 7 (at Barca), respectively.

Celta Vigo vs. Alaves

Meanwhile, the other half of the semis feature two "small" clubs in Celta Vigo and Alaves. Celta pulled off a major upset as they eliminated Real Madrid (4-3 aggregate score) in the quarters -- a two-leg duel that saw Celta win at the Bernabeu. Alaves took down Alcorcon in the previous round. It must be an awesome feeling for those two fan bases to know that one of them will make it to the final.

The first and second legs for these two will take place on Feb. 2 (at Vigo) and 8 (at Alaves), respectively.
