The lineups are out for the second leg of the Champions League semifinal between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, and there are no major surprises from either coach.

Atléti boss Diego Simeone, whose side head in three goals down on aggregate, has made two changes to the team defeated at the Santiago Bernabéu last week: José Giménez has made a surprising return from injury and displaces Lucas Hernández at right-back, while Fernando Torres comes in for Kévin Gameiro up top.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane has made only one change, and it is an enforced one: Danilo comes in for the injured Dani Carvajal at right-back.

Atlético Madrid starting lineup (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Filipe Luís, Stefan Savić, Diego Godín, José Giménez; Koke, Gabi, Saúl Ñíguez, Yannick Carrasco; Fernando Torres, Antoine Griezmann.

Real Madrid starting lineup (4-3-3): Keylor Navas; Marcelo, Raphaël Varane, Sergio Ramos, Danilo; Luka Modrić, Casemiro, Toni Kroos; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Isco.
