Twitter reacts as Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinal

Real Madrid were drawn with Atletico Madrid in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, in the draw that took place at UEFA HQ today. Juventus and AS Monaco were drawn in the other semifinal, which will guarantee a La Liga side will play in the final of the UEFA Champions League for the 4th year in a row.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the draw:

There was considerable angst as UEFA took their time with the draw....

Four teams left in the CL draw. Should be no less than an hour before we find out the semi final line-ups.

Good to avoid another Madrid derby final, with same managers and pretty much same tactics/players. Would have been awfully repetitive.

I predict that there will be a Madrid team in the CL final.

@Kristian_Walsh I was hoping Juve would take care of Real Madrid in the semis. If Real knock Atletico out that's me done with football for a while.

The Calderon is gonna be unreal for the second leg. Last ever European game there and it's against Madrid. No better combination.

Is it the shortest travel in both @ChampionsLeague semi-finals ever? 30mins drive in Madrid and 3h drive between Monaco and Turin. #UCLdraw

Imagine Atleti manage to get Real Madrid out and still lose the final.
